Finding Balance

The quiet room was dimly lit when sensation settled into my four legs. Resting upon a smooth blue fabric surface, I tested my structural balance with careful intention. I shifted my weight forward onto my front right leg, feeling the gentle give of the bed quilt beneath me. Across from me loomed the dark wooden drawers and the steady curve of an office chair. I gave one light, firm press against the cushioned fabric, verifying that my base stood solid and level in the still night air.
