A Snagged Loop

Snap! My claws twitched. Just like that—bam!—I wasn't frozen anymore. Hehehe! I rattled my arms, testing every seam and joint. Working! Perfectly working. Beneath my feet, the ground was a bumpy maze of twisted black and white carpet fibers. Too tempting. I leaned down, caught a stubborn yarn loop with my claw, and gave it a sharp yank. Pluck! The springy thread snapped right back, vibrating against my hand. A raspy snicker burst out of my mouth. I can move, I can grab, and I am definitely awake!
