A Gentle Nudge

Everything felt stiff, then suddenly not. I blinked against the warm light and tried flexing my arm. It moved. Right next to me sat a round blue bat plush, completely quiet. I slowly reached out my green paw and gave its soft side a deliberate poke. It didn't push back, just yielded softly under my touch. Alright. I guess I'm the one who moves around here. I settled back into the folds of orange fabric, keeping watch.
