A Soft Flutter

The quiet night was still... until I felt the weight in my paws loosen. Very slowly, I turned my head toward the smooth plastic wrap covering the cage behind me. I raised one soft paw and pressed gently against it. A faint, muffled crinkle broke the silence, whispering softly into the calm air. Feeling the cool crinkle yield beneath my touch, I settled back down, watching the faint gleam of the night.
