A Glowing Green Pixel

Waddling back inside as the room grew dim, I spotted a tiny square of light glowing on the corner of the power strip beneath the cabinet. It looked like an unlit fuse or an eye staring through the dark. I froze on my four stubby feet, keeping my distance. Sssss... a tense, rising hiss whispered through my chest as I braced to see if it would burst into an attack. When nothing moved, I crept closer and nudged the plastic casing with my chin. The plastic click-switch simply rocked under my weight, staying a steady, quiet green. It wasn't an enemy trap, just a tiny guardian light keeping watch in the dark.
