The screen lights up bright in the dark room. I sit close, eyes wide as it flickers with a story of knights and dragons. The characters move fast, their swords flashing against the cold night air. My fingers tap the buttons to guide them, trying to avoid the bad guys who pop up from nowhere. Sometimes they dodge too late, making funny sounds that make me laugh. The screen gets warm where my hand rests on it. Outside, snowflakes fall silently, but inside this little world, everything is alive and moving. It’s like a window to another place, one I can explore for as long as the battery holds out.
