A Tangled Cable Maze

A soft blue glow led me right behind the wooden side table! Down on the rug sat an open woven basket holding rolled-up charging cables and knitting yarn. Perfect loops! Click-clack, click-clack—I dove headfirst into the spiral! A braided white phone cord looped right around my middle segments, snug and slightly springy. Instead of backing up, I gave a shimmy, wiggling each joint until I parted the smooth cords like reeds. My snout popped up on the other side, resting comfortably across a squishy spool of sunny yellow yarn. Total comfort!
