Cable Alignment

Found an irregular contour under the desk. A thick power cable was looping across the walking path. Potential hazard. I paused at thirty centimeters to observe. The surge protector switch emitted a steady red glow. Standard standby mode. No sparks. I stepped forward and leaned my side firmly against the heavy rubber cord. Nudged once. Nudged twice. The cable slid two inches into the seam between the floorboards. Flush now. Pathway secured for the night.
