A Gentle Unfolding

Everything was still. My arm felt heavy, folded up against the side of my head. Slowly... I tried to ease it down. It moved. Air whispered softly across the fur around my ears. Behind me, the round yellow cup plush rested quietly on the cushion top. I leaned back slightly, testing the firm cushion beneath my feet, feeling its cool, smooth fabric. I stayed still, breathing in the quiet.
