    Summary

    It’s a CRT television, the kind with buttons that control everything down at the bottom. Usually, you don’t use a light to find the buttons. You just run your hand along the bottom until you find the first one. That’s the power button. The TV itself is a bit broken. The antenna has a piece of cloth holding it in place, and there’s a small crack at the bottom of the screen that you only really notice when the TV is on. Still, you got it for free from a neighbor. And despite the wear and tear, he works like a charm. Tenna, they called him. It felt weird to call the TV by the name at first, but soon enough it became second nature.

    Reader got an old busted CRT TV from a couple of teenagers and is really starting to love it. Though, as they fall asleep, they slip into the Dark World. [Alternate universe where the Dark World doesn't have to be reached through a fountain and just kinda exists separate from the Light World.]
