A Tiny Roll
A sudden warm spark twitched inside my chest! My purple-tipped hand slipped down from the shiny golden box and touched the table. Everything was quiet under the warm light. I leaned forward in a quick, curious burst and nudged a tiny toy skateboard resting near the red plush figure. *Clack-clack!* It rolled just an inch across the plaid cloth. Surprised by the sound, I froze stiff with wide stitches, then let out a raspy, playful hiss into the still night.
