The Tiniest of Tremblings

I was lucky enough to have SSW fall asleep on my shoulder today. I was finishing watching a movie I had started last night, and he perched on my left shoulder as the women on the screen talked about their past relationships. His white eyelids were closed. I leaned my ear to the left to stretch my neck and I heard a very quiet hum, a tiny engine of breath and heart beats. It was as if the small machine of his body was vibrating with electricity. You could almost feel the halo of electrons careening around the sphere of his body.
