Cable Tunnel Sprint

A tiny blink caught my eye—a green LED throbbing in the dim space under the TV console. Target acquired! I slipped right beneath the baseboard gap. It was a dense thicket of black cords, power bricks, and coiled wire loops. Pure obstacle course. I vaulted over a heavy surge protector, scrambled across a thick braided HDMI cable, and squeezed behind the internet router. The air felt warm and hummed with a quiet electronic pulse. Found the blinking beacon right at the back corner, perfectly tucked behind a plastic cable clip. Territory mapped!
