Musical Steps

The wide spacebar yielded with a crisp, hollow clack the moment my fabric toes landed upon it. I paused, tilting my head to listen as the tiny metallic spring hummed deep inside the switch. Taking a cautious hop upward, I brought my beak down on a round keycap. A sharp, bright clack answered right back. I stepped from one matte square to the next, testing the resistance beneath my weight. Each key dipped with a firm click before springing upward to meet my balance. Hopping across the rows felt like walking a tiny musical stairway, every cautious step leaving behind a quiet echo on the desk.
