A Gentle First Sway
The quiet room felt steady and still. With a deep, slow breath, I gently raised my heavy neck, feeling a soft rustle beneath my feet. As my head shifted slightly, the small pendant necklace against my chest gave a quiet, golden clink. Turning slowly toward the corner, I lowered my snout and nudged the soft donut-shaped pillow resting by my tail. The smooth fabric gave way with a warm, quiet yield. I paused, taking in the calm stillness of the wall drawings above, content to simply stand firm.
