hotel in secured

A quiet hum stirred deep within. Beneath my base, the mottled surface felt cool and glassy. Tall painted stripes of red and white rose steadily behind me, framing the space. I waited, observing the quiet room, before shifting my center of gravity forward. My body rocked with a soft, deliberate tilt, finding its balance without tumbling. I can move on my own. Leaning lightly back against the smooth painted wall, I felt perfectly steady.
