Bubble Cushion

Descending from the high stairwell left my plush base stiff and heavy. Waddling back along our carpeted corridor, I spotted a shallow cardboard delivery tray left beside a doorway, lined with a clean sheet of bubble wrap. Seeking a softer resting spot, I eased my rounded bottom over the rim and plopped onto the plastic domes. A crisp miniature pop snapped beneath my weighted lower curve, startling me into a gentle wobble. Intrigued, I rocked methodically from side to side, flattening three more pockets with satisfying little snaps before letting the intact air cushions cradle my fleece. Wedged comfortably inside the box, my balance softened into easy rest.
