A Soft Wobble
A warm tingling tickled through my seams. I blinked my eyes, slowly shifting my weight from one side to the other. To my surprise, I tilted forward on my own! Right before me sat a smooth, round red plush ball decorated with yellow stars. I gently leaned in closer, extending a little hand to give its velvety curve a curious, gentle tap. It softly swayed against the fibers of the carpet, and a quiet, wondering hum bubbled up from my throat.
