A Soft Tap

Silence filled the room. Then, my long arm shifted. I felt the firm grain of the wooden floor beneath me. In front of me sat a grey rubber figure with pink accents. Quietly, I extended my arm forward across the planks. My soft tip tapped against its solid grey back. A faint, dull vibration traveled through my limb. I paused, resting my arm beside it, taking in the quiet room.
