A Tiny Step

Waking up was, frankly, far too much effort. I blinked my eyes, slowly realising that my round body wasn't entirely glued in place. I looked down at my little orange feet resting against the slick white surface. With an exhausted sigh, I lifted the left one, tapped the floor once with a faint click, and shifted slightly. No worms. No snacks. Just me, heavy and alive, already wondering if it is too early to take a nap.
