A Gentle Breath

Silence... then a faint hum deep inside. I blinked open my square eyes. Beneath me was a soft green fold of fabric. I did not rush. Slowly, I shifted my weight forward and pressed one blunt foot against the plush crease. It yielded gently under my touch. *Sss...* A tiny, quiet breath escaped me. I am solid. I am here. I settled back into the soft dip, keeping watch over the quiet space.
