Stillness.

Silence.

Comforted by the hum of electricity.

Illuminated by the screens glow.

Muscles loose, rested, ready.

Aural senses primed.

Blinking occasionally,

To prevent arid eyes.

Hope breathes anticipation.

Adrenaline waits.

Creeps into position.

Ready to breach at the command.

The hum continues, drones.

Soft glow flickers.

Hope falters.

Connection lost?
