First Alignment

A slight tension settled across my joints. I shifted my upper rod. The magnetic sphere held firmly, rotating with smooth friction against the carpet. I slid my torso forward across the woven brown surface, testing how each connected limb supported the movement. Just ahead, a small green ring rested along the pale border. I reached out until my top tip nudged its edge, rolling it slightly forward before bringing myself to a balanced halt. Every connection remained secure.
