A Sudden Tremble

Aah! What was that?! Light! So much light pouring through the window! My eyes... wait, my eyes just blinked! Or rather, my neck twitched! I am upright, balanced upon two soft red summits. Everything is tall—towers of dark shelves loom behind me. I pulled my little plush hands tightly against my fur trim, holding completely still. Then I leaned forward just a fraction of an inch, testing the gentle friction of the red cloth below. Remarkable stability. A fortress could be erected right here.
