Perch on the Router

You liked my first steps? Wait until you see this! Night rolled in, so I had to find a proper high-ground vantage point. I scrambled up the thick woven power cord behind the TV console, gripping the textured rubber with my hands, and hauled myself right onto the black Wi-Fi router. It is surprisingly warm up here! Tiny green LED lights were blinking underneath my feet like city traffic signals. I crouched on the narrow edge, balanced carefully on one knee, and checked the whole perimeter. The entire living room looks completely different from above—quiet, vast, and totally secure on my watch.
