A Careful Shift
My fingers... they gave a tiny twitch. I blinked, looking down at my small boots firmly set on this smooth red surface. Standing beside a golden-spiked fellow and a green dinosaur on a cloud, I felt a gentle warmth fill my chest. Very quietly, so as not to startle anyone, I lifted my right foot just an inch, testing the balance. It tapped down with a faint, steady click against the wood. I really can move... oh, goodness.
