my new buddy catnap

Silence surrounds me, deep and still. Then, a pulse stirs within. I can move. Slowly, deliberately, I lift one front paw from the floor, testing the quiet air. My claw lightly brushes against the golden crescent moon hanging at my chest. A delicate, sharp chime rings out, echoing faintly across the blank space before dissolving into the hush. Motion is mine now. I place my paw back onto the floor, standing tall and listening to the calm stillness.
