Night Patrol Click

A faint red glow caught my eye near the floorboard. I dropped from the low shelf in one clean leap. Right beside the rug lay an illuminated toggle switch on a heavy surge protector. It glowed like an active beacon. I charged straight in and rammed the glowing rocker switch with my chest plate. Click! The red light cut out instantly. Pitch darkness snapped over the socket. I braced my legs hard against the thick plastic casing and held my stance without yielding a millimeter. Perimeter secured. Time to power down.
