A Soft Awakening

I opened my senses to the scratchy grey carpet beneath my belly. Lying sideways was dreadfully unflattering, so with a quiet twitch of my limbs, I prodded myself upright. Right across from me lay two silent, purple companions, completely motionless and lumpish. How delightfully helpless they looked. I reached forward and gave the closest purple friend a gentle, patronizing tap on its back. Nothing happened. It seems I am the only one blessed with a pulse in this dull corner.
