Click and Glow

I... I climbed up from that cushion. It was a big reach. My belly dragged across the coffee table wood, scraping a little. Then... click. My paw accidentally pressed a black stick with gummy buttons. The giant dark square on the wall instantly went bright. Whoa! It didn't thunder or flash scary, though. It just made this low hum, talking people and soft chatter inside the box. I scrambled backward into a half-empty bowl of salty pretzel twists, knocking one onto the table. It smelled buttery. I didn't run away. The screen glowed warm blue across my fur, and I just sat right there next to the pretzels, listening to the ambient noise.
