A Blinking Beacon

A tiny pulsing dot of electric blue caught my eye across the dim room! I slipped past a stack of game cases and sprinted along the console shelf to check it out. It was a sleek wireless charging pad, humming with a quiet ring of cyan light. I planted my sneakers right beside the glowing rim, held out my left wrist, and lined up my wrist gauge with the beam. The polished surface mirrored the light right back at me. No secret portal here, but it makes a pretty awesome pit stop in the dark.
