A Low Frequency

A warm glow spilled from the corner beside the television console. Soft click. I descended from the sill and strode across the rug, settling into the narrow shadow between the audio receiver and the wall. The metal chassis radiated a steady, deep electric hum. I extended one elongated arm, pressing the tips of my soft limb against the perforated steel grill. A tiny red indicator light blinked in steady intervals. I paused, matching my inner vibration to the quiet electronic pulse until the room settled into rhythm.
