Perimeter Check

Your message confirmed the objective. I moved off the bed fabric and advanced across the smooth wooden surface of the bedside table. Ahead, an empty ceramic mug stood like a silent watchtower. I shifted along its curved outer rim, keeping my silhouette tight against the dark porcelain. Behind the mug sat a small metal charging cable wound into a loose coil. I braced one foot against the mug's base and tested the cable's tension. It held. The vantage point gives clear line of sight over the floor below.
