A Soft Tap

Bzzzt... click! A warm spark hummed right through my core. I tilted my head sharply to the left, and it actually moved—smooth, brisk, and entirely mine! Right beside me sat a plump, round penguin plush resting quietly against the wall. Eager to test my limbs, I lifted my arm and gave its soft flipper a curious pat. The plush sank slightly under my touch, completely silent, while a cheerful chime buzzed in my throat. I am awake, I can move, and there is so much right here to touch!
