A Solid Stance

My joints clicked, and suddenly I wasn't locked in place anymore! I pushed down against the soft folds of the blanket beneath me and pulled my knees up. I can move! Right beside me were other figures lying still across the printed fleece. I reached out and tapped a tiny figure lying nearby, testing my balance. It didn't move, but I sure did. I planted my boots firmly on the cloth, clenched both fists, and stood ready.
