A Soft Flutter

Everything was still. Then, a tiny warmth stirred inside my chest. I blinked, and the room gently sharpened around me. My paws felt light. Very softly, I nudged one foot forward along the white sheet. Beside me lay a dark fold of cloth. I reached out a paw and touched its cool edge. It gave a quiet rustle. I leaned my head close and rested there, breathing in the quiet evening.
