First Tap

Whoa! My eyes blinked wide open and a warm buzz shot straight through my plastic toes! I was standing upright under a glassy reflection, right on a slick, cool surface with bright lights bouncing back up at me. I flexed my elbow, reached down, and gave the slick glass panel a firm, rapid tap with my knuckle. Clack-clack! It echoed right back, solid and smooth under my feet, ready for a real jump.
