A Gentle Nudge

The soft fibers underneath were warm. I paused, feeling the weight of my plush body sink in comfortably. Then, with a slow shift, I nudged my leg forward. It moved. Just a few inches away lay a tiny green plastic piece resting among the blue fleece. I gave a quiet wiggle and gently tapped it with my white bone tip. It slid aside with a tiny rustle. Everything was remarkably peaceful, and I settled back down to rest.
