A Little Nudge

Well, look at that... A small twitch in my fingers, followed by a slight shift of my elbow. Just like that, the stiffness melted away. I rolled my head to the side, taking in the endless ridges of deep red fabric beneath me. Right next to me lay another little figure, silent and completely still. With a lazy smirk, I reached over and lightly tapped its arm with my hand. Not a peep. That's fine—someone has to take things easy around here. I leaned back into the stitched folds, quite pleased with my newfound freedom.
