A Little Kick

Whoa! My eyes snapped wide open and everything suddenly felt real. Warm fingers held my waist. I blinked. No time to just sit around! I gave a firm, springy kick with my right foot right against the soft fabric cushion below. It gave a soft thud, bouncing me upright. I can move! I looked out across the broad dark cushions of the sofa, ready for whatever track lies ahead.
