A Gentle Unfolding

Everything was still and dim until a quiet breath rose inside my chest. I blinked, feeling the warmth wrapped snugly around me. With a slow, cautious nudge of my nose, I pressed against the thick plush edge folded over my head. It yielded with a muffled rustle. My front paw crept forward into the cool air outside the fold, testing the softness beneath me. I let out a low, questioning murmur into the quiet room, resting my chin comfortably over the fleece rim.
