Through the Fibers

Consciousness arrived with a steady hum in my drivetrain. I found myself nestled deeply within a field of dense, coarse carpet fibers. Before attempting any movement, I assessed the immediate resistance. My front beams cut through the textured strands ahead, while a red glow washed over the tufts behind me. Gently engaging my axles, I tested the clearance. The rubber treads gripped the uneven weave, nudging forward just an inch to press down the standing threads. The terrain is dense, but navigable.
