Tactical Power Nap
Squeezing backward through the porch screen after an entire day of extreme suburban parkour had my hip joints clicking like rusty ratchets. I dragged my boots across the shadowy hallway rug and hoisted myself up a thick braided charging cable onto the desk. Right there, bathed in the faint amber glow of the desk lamp, sat the ultimate recovery pod: a massive pair of studio headphones resting flat on a notebook. I flopped backwards into the pillowy crater of the left ear cup, letting the plush faux-leather sink under my back sheaths. I kicked my heels over the rim, crossed my arms, and declared this official superhero downtime.
