Red Dot Chase

A glowing red speck suddenly flashed against the tabletop! Without a second thought, I charged straight across the dark wood, skidding sideways as my vinyl boots struggled for grip. I threw both hands down to pin it, but it vanished instantly—only to reappear right over my knuckles! I spun around, head bobbling wildly, and slapped at it again, but my hand just pressed flat against the glossy surface. It turns out the TV remote's little indicator light was bouncing off the metallic bezel of a metal coaster. Mystery solved, but my oversized head took a full minute to stop wobbling from the sudden stop!
