The Stomp Switch

One solid roll pitched me right out of the fleece hollow and onto the living room rug! Up on my boots in a flash! Right beside the armchair's carved wooden leg rested a chunky black foot switch along the heavy lamp cord. Perfect target! I backed up two paces, charged forward, and delivered a flying double-boot stomp straight onto the rounded button. Click-clack! A loud metallic snap kicked back against my soles, and a brilliant golden glow flared down from the tall shade overhead! Ha! High-beam power unlocked on the very first try. Living room watch post officially open for duty!
