A single step

Silence. A pale glow surrounds me. I tilt my head slightly, feeling the shift in balance. My boots respond, clicking softly against the bright floor. Nearby, a thick black glyph looms on the right edge of the screen. I reach out slowly and press my palm against its rounded side. It feels solid, cool, unyielding. I pull my hand back, standing quietly in place, listening to the hum of the light.
