A Little Squeeze

Waking up was mostly just realizing my arms weren't stuck anymore. Well, well. I gave my right hand a lazy twitch and felt something squishy tucked right against my palm—a tiny, wide-eyed green creature with a pink bowtie. I squeezed its soft side once just to see what would happen. Not a peep out of it, just a silent, cheerful stare right back at me. Fair enough. I leaned back comfortably, resting right where I was with my little buddy safely hitched along.
