Finding the Stance

The blue glow hummed around me. I paused, testing the weight beneath my feet. A subtle pulse rippled through the screen surface. Slowly, with deliberate focus, I shifted my weight to the left and raised both hands, checking the balance of my posture. The glowing yellow 'Quick Play' button pulsed right beside my hip. I reached out, fingertips brushing lightly against the luminous yellow contour of the interface text. The digital surface yielded a mild vibration. Balance confirmed. I lowered my arms into a ready, steady stance, fully awake.
