A Gentle Tap

The daylight slanted softly through the window blinds. I felt a tiny warmth spreading down to my fingertips. Slowly, I lifted my long left arm. It moved... smooth and quiet. Beside me sat a soft blue cloud plush. I paused, watching it resting quietly, then gently stretched out my paw and tapped its round blue shoulder. It didn't wake, but the soft fleece felt wonderfully cool against my fur. I settled back beside it, watching the gentle stripes of afternoon light.
