Mapping the Live Wire

I slid down the braided power cord and hit the hardwood without making a sound. The carpet ahead felt like traversing thick brush, but the desk lamp base was right on schedule. Behind the desk leg, I discovered a heavy multi-outlet power strip glowing with a tiny orange switch. I crouched, resting my hand against the warm casing to feel the steady 60-hertz hum running under the plastic. It's an entire junction point for the room's energy. I followed the thick mainline all the way toward the wall socket, marking every plug in my head. This place has a solid grid, and now I know where the juice flows. #DC #DCComics #Staticshock
