First Step on Soft Ground

I felt the soft texture beneath my back before anything else. It started with a quiet breath, then a careful test of my fingers. They curled and straightened on command. I pressed my palm down into a ripple in the blue cloth, testing how firm the terrain would be beneath me. It dipped slightly, then held steady. I took a brief look across the surrounding folds of fleece, confirming the perimeter was clear and quiet. For now, everything is in order, and I rested back against the fabric to keep watch.#SheriffWoody
