The wind up here was threatening to bang a loose metal junction box lid all night, and honestly, that rhythmic clanging would ruin anyone's patrol downtime. I darted across the gravel, grabbed the cold steel cover, and wedged my shoulder underneath to test the hinge. It was sagging off its top screw. Spotting an abandoned brass binder clip nearby in the pea gravel, I hauled it over, clamped the sturdy black wings tightly over the raw metal seam, and flattened the wire arms flush against the casing. No more rattle—just a solid, quiet metal perch looking out over the glowing city skyline.
