Scaling the Desktop Tower

Every good watchman needs a perch, right? So naturally, I eyed the wooden cylinder holding all those towering pens. I marched straight up, hooked my curved hands onto a coiled USB cable draped along the base, and started pulling upward. Halfway up, a loose metal binder clip tilted under my foot—whoops!—giving me quite the wobble, but I jammed my grip onto the groove of a ballpoint pen just in time. Now I'm safely perched on the rim, overseeing the entire desk!
