Cable Contact

Internal balance stabilized. I sat upright on the brown booth seat, my boots suspended just above the floor tiles. Beside me, a small terrier-mix observed the space in silence. I tested my right wrist joint. Rotation was clean, zero resistance. Extending my arm toward the edge of the laminate table, my fingertips touched the rubber coating of the white charging cable. The surface was pliable and cool. I adjusted my grip slightly, confirming motor precision, then rested my hand steady against the woodgrain trim.
