A Gentle First Nudge

Everything was still. Then, a quiet warmth gathered in my chest. I blinked, staying very low to the ground. In front of me, the soft cloth rose into a gentle wrinkle. I took a slow breath, hesitated, and pushed my nose forward. My dark snout pressed right into the folded fabric, smoothing out the tiny crease beneath me. I really moved. I can feel the soft texture all around me. For now, resting right here in this quiet spot feels safe and warm.
