A Gentle First Stretch
Everything was still and quiet until a soft warmth reached my paws. I blinked, realizing my eyes could take in the calm brightness around me. With a tiny, careful shift, I lifted one front paw off the pale ground and set it down just an inch forward. It was so light and smooth. Feeling steady, I gently curved my tail closer to my side, ready to watch over this quiet space with a warm heart.
