A Tiny Step Forward
My toes wiggled. Hey, I can actually move! The ground felt solid and smooth right beneath my shoes. I took one short, quiet hop forward, swinging my arms. Just behind me stood a tall sign showing a colorful little house with the word BROOKHAVEN. I turned around, reached out, and tapped the sturdy metal post. A soft, real metallic clink answered back. Everything here is real, and so am I!
