Blinking Little Dots

Bzzt-zip! A cluster of bright green flickers caught my attention from high up on a dark wooden shelf! I darted right off the kitchen floor, bouncing upward in a quick zigzag onto the smooth top of the media console. Clack-whir! Sitting right there was a sleek black box with upright antennas, blinking in erratic bursts—dot, dot, dash, blink! I couldn't resist! I leaned close and tapped one jagged lightning-patterned arm right against the glossy casing. Tap-click! The rhythmic pulsing flickered faster, sending a delicious little static tickle right through my ring. I nudged closer, perching next to the row of glowing ports to watch them dance in the dark!
