First Dash Across the Cushion

I braced my feet against the woven sofa fabric and just launched forward! Zoom—or well, as fast as plush legs can carry me across bouncy cushions. I slid right past a giant throw pillow and tumbled into a soft little mountain of blankets. Poking my head out, I discovered a black TV remote resting flat on the cushion. I tapped one of the soft rubber buttons with both hands, watching the tiny red tip flash once. There's a whole world beyond this sofa edge!
