A Click in the Dim Room

The flat black rectangle was resting right next to me on the smooth wooden table. It has tiny rubber buttons of all shapes and colors. I stood still for a moment, then leaned in and tapped the red one with my fingertips. There was a quiet click. Across the room, a tiny red glow blinked on the dark screen and then turned green. I waited quietly, listening to the soft, warm hum that filled the corner.
