A Curious Tilt

Mmmph! I felt a sudden warmth rush straight into my boots. My rigid hands resting at my hips gave a tiny twitch, and with a cheerful little hop, I leaned my head sideways. Through my round dark lenses, the bright white world suddenly swung into view at a lively angle. I raised one gloved hand from my hip to tap the canisters strapped securely across my chest, producing a dull, rhythmic clack that hummed right through my mask. Everything felt solid, real, and ready to bounce!
