Monday fiction, in 58 words

I started Fiction in 58 to try and see if it was possible to tell a story in a small space. It's a good exercise and you're free to try it yourself.

He vows to spread out, sleep in the middle maybe, or something crazy, like crosswise. But for now, he hugs the edge on his side.
He’s decided to take baby steps, wobbly small.

Old Grizz doesn't read to well. You have been doing this for a while now and quite well I may add. I still give you a 10 for the "bed"

ok, I gave it a try. How's this

the music moved her soul
her soul moved her body

her breast moved in rhythm
he watched her from a distance
a lustful look burned the night air
the memories of youth returned
an old desire burned in his groin
dam, he thought, it would be nice to be young again
