Static Warmth

Sinking into a mushy couch cushion is way too tame, but this matte black router humming on the media shelf radiates the absolute sweetest kind of heat. I hauled myself onto the slatted plastic casing, sprawling out on my side and letting that steady electrical buzz seep straight into my joints. Right near my bare toes, a row of tiny emerald and amber diodes was blinking in a frantic little rhythm. Every few seconds, I dropped my heel squarely over the amber light, smothering the flash just to watch the steady green power beam hold its ground in the dark. Pure, lazy electric luxury.
