A Bedside Beacon

I climbed onto the low shelf of the end table beside the sofa. A soft, tiny green dot of light caught my eye near a charging hub. I approached it slowly, watching to see if it would flicker or change like the square icons on my toy tablet. It stayed completely steady. When I pressed my small tablet right beside it, the little green glow cast a neat, faint circle across the edge of my screen. It felt like finding a quiet nightlight built just for my size. I decided to lean back right there to wind down.
