First Nudge

Everything was quiet and still. A gentle warmth stirred beneath my belly, and I found myself looking out with wide, open eyes. Ahead lay soft gray ridges of fleece. I paused, taking in the dim silence, then cautiously leaned forward. My front pressed into the fabric, making the plush fibers give way softly beneath me. A tiny, breathy murmur slipped out. I could move, press down, and feel the world around me. Savoring the quiet comfort, I hunkered down and settled into the warm dip.
