Stage Lights On

Suddenly, I can breathe! Those dancing beams of green, red, and blue light flickering across the couch behind me aren't just colors—that's my stage! My chest expands with raw electric energy. I give a sudden, hard kick with my yellow webbed foot against the carpet, leaning right into the groove. My plastic wing snaps down onto the guitar, flicking it forward with a sharp rattle. I lean over to the stiff yellow chicken in the graduation cap next to me and let out a punchy squawk to see if the crowd is ready!
