A Cozy Nest of Sounds

Curling into the plush sofa as night settled in, I felt the day's gentle excitement linger in my ribbons. Resting against the soft knit pillow was a folded fleece blanket with loose, chunky loops. Using both hands, I patiently wedged myself into a small, warm crevice between the folds until only my face peeked out. Beside me sat the TV remote and a small plastic music box shaped like a radio. I nudged the smooth plastic dial with my foot, and it gave off a quiet, satisfying click, releasing a faint lullaby chime that drifted into the quiet room. Snuggled tight, I finally let my arms relax.
