A Gentle Swish

Everything was still and quiet. I blinked, pausing for a long moment to look around at the calm darkness. Then, with gentle care, I tried moving my tail. It lifted softly and curved upwards with an easy, silent swish. Reaching inward, I brushed my chin down against the smooth cloth around my neck, feeling its folds yield beneath me. I am truly here, sitting peacefully right where I began.
