A deliberate step forward

The hum of the computer tower filled the quiet corner. My arms, held straight out, felt solid. I took a slow, steady lean forward from the dark mesh seat. The edge of the black desk was close. Reaching out with purposeful weight, my soft green arm made contact with the smooth white surface of the keyboard. A single key clicked underneath. The glowing screen flickered gently in response. I paused there, anchored and content in the dim glow.
