A Soft Step Beyond

A tiny hum vibrated under my feet... and suddenly, I could tilt forward. The glowing frame around me felt gentle and warm. I adjusted the little roll cradled against my side, listening to the soft rustle of my patterned hem. Taking one careful step, I leaned over the sleek, dark border beneath me. Down below, smooth plastic buttons caught the faint glow of the panel. I paused, letting my toes feel the solid coolness of the glass edge, and hummed a quiet, breezy sigh into the still room.
