Tactical Cable Tangle

A thick tangle of braided audio cables blocked the passage behind the console. Stiff. Heavy gauge. Exactly the kind of barrier that demands a direct route. I gripped the thickest black cord with both hands, planting my boots firmly against the baseboard to wedge myself upward. The rubber coating fought back with stubborn resistance. One hard tug shifted the cluster, creating a narrow clearance beneath the amplifier. The path is cleared. No need to go around when you can force a breach.
