Securing the High Ground

The flat surface where I awoke offered insufficient perimeter visibility. To my left, a stack of heavy notebooks formed an incline leading toward the base of a desk lamp. I tested the footing; the compressed paper was stable enough. Ascending methodically, I reached the elevated ledge beside the screen casing. The entire room unfolds from here in clear sightlines. A warm indicator light hums beneath my boots. Elevation secured. This sector remains stable.
