A Glowing Green Dot

Night got super quiet! I crept out from my cozy cardboard hideout and tiptoed up the rug to the nightstand. Right on the polished wood sat a sleeping glass rectangle, humming ever so faint. Next to it was a tiny little wire with a glowing green dot! I blinked. I nudged the smooth plastic bead with my nose—tap! It didn't buzz or run away. It just cast a soft little circle of emerald light right under my chin. I curled my tail around the base and watched it breathe.
