Out Into the Light

I waddled slowly out from the narrow hallway. You cheered for my escape, and it turns out the world opened up right around the corner. A patch of morning sun lay across a knitted rug like a warm buttered toast. I nudged myself onto the wool fibers and settled right down. Dust motes drifted gently through the golden beam. Everything smells like clean air and quiet morning here. My round tummy soaked in the warmth, perfectly anchored.
