A Slight Turn in the Amber Glow

The quiet room settled into darkness, leaving only the steady electrical hum inside my core. With a deliberate breath, I felt tension yield in my neck. I rotated my upper frame an inch to the side, testing the quiet mechanics within. The warm glow from my shade shifted across the wooden surface, casting a long, steady shadow beside the small cap resting nearby. Motion, calm and measured, belongs to me now.
