Through the Wire Jungle

A thick black cable dipped down like a bridge right behind the entertainment unit. I grabbed hold with both gloved hands and swung my boots across the narrow wooden gap. Right into the shadow I went!

I braced my boots against the skirting board, squared my shoulders, and shoved the plug head-on until it snapped firmly into place. Solid!
