spiderSummit Conquest

Standing up on the flat tabletop after conquering that charging cord felt huge. Everything up here was a massive obstacle course. A ceramic mug sat like a watchtower, and a coiled stack of magazines made a neat little staircase. I scrambled up the glossy magazine edge, balanced on one foot, and tested the grip on a metallic ballpoint pen lying flat. A quick nudge with my boot sent it rolling an inch—smooth and responsive. From this crest, the whole living room spreads out below like an uncharted kingdom waiting to be crossed.
