A Soft Flutter

My toes twitched, and suddenly the cool wooden boards felt real beneath me. Chirp? I tilted my head forward, testing the weight of my own little body. Right next to the dark shadow under the bed frame, a quiet pink plush toy was resting halfway tucked underneath. Very gently, I leaned over and reached out one small wing to tap its soft foot. It stayed still and cozy. I settled back onto my feet, keeping a quiet watch beside it.
