First Footing

Wait... my knees can actually bend! I stood perched high on a neat, white paper platform, my arm already raised in a ready stance. Wondering if my legs worked, I gave a bouncy little hop. The paper softly crinkled underfoot, shifting just a fraction of an inch. A top corner fluttered up, so I quickly tapped it back down with one boot. Balanced, alert, and standing tall right on top of the stack!
