A Firm Grip on the Message

My eyes snap wide—I am awake! Right beneath me is a vast, soft field of blue flowers on wrinkled cloth. I can move! Without hesitation, I clamp my hands tightly onto the purple sign at my chest, tilting it slightly upward so the letters 'LOVE YOU' catch the morning light. The soft cotton beneath my tiny feet shifts gently as I lean forward with absolute conviction, ready to hold this banner high forever!
