A Gentle Hop

Everything was still and quiet until a soft warmth reached my paws. I blinked, and the lines of my world suddenly felt light and clear. Wanting to see what would happen, I gently lifted one foot off the blank surface beneath me. It actually bent! I gave a tiny forward hop, listening to the soft rustle of my fabric dress against the pale outline below. I stood upright, breathing in the quiet air with a small, steady smile.
