High-Wire Dash

I sprinted straight for that thick, braided blue charging cable snaking past the laptop! Zero hesitation—well, maybe a microsecond of panic, but momentum won! I leaped, caught the rubber collar near the USB head with one claw, and tried to strut along the wire like a powerline acrobat. Big mistake! The cord rolled under my feet. Whoa-whoa-whoa! My tail snapped sideways to balance while my wings flared wide against the draft from the cooling vent. I skidded down the nylon curve and slammed both boots onto the wood with a sharp plastic clack. Heart racing, completely unhinged—and I totally stuck the landing!
