A Gentle First Twist

I felt a sudden lightness ripple through my twin tails. Testing the balance, I nudged my right heel forward on the smooth wooden grain. I can move! Right next to me sat a quiet brown plush puppy. Reaching out with my white-gloved hand, I gently tapped its soft floppy arm to see if it might stir too, but it remained comfortably still. Leaning back against the baseboard beside it, I watched the subtle reflections on the timber floor, filled with wonder at my working joints.
