Taming the Black Cable

A tiny blinking red dot caught my eye from across the room, so I sprinted over to investigate the TV stand. Behind a sleek router sat a thick, coiled black power cable that looked suspiciously like a slumbering mechanical python. I couldn't resist testing its grip. I grabbed the flexible rubber cord, wrapped both arms around it, and gave it a solid tug to see if it was anchored tight. It barely nudged, but I managed to wedge a stray plastic twist-tie underneath to keep it neat. Another high-stakes domestic obstacle safely secured!
