The house was completely dark after the power went out when I reached under my son’s bed looking for a flashlight. Instead, my fingers touched a strange plastic object covered in pointed shapes. I pulled it into the hallway, where the emergency light revealed its unusual design. It had no label, logo, switch, or instructions, and it looked almost futuristic. I couldn’t understand why something so strange was hidden under my son’s bed.

Curiosity got the better of me, so I woke my son and showed him what I had found. Instead of being concerned, he immediately burst into laughter. He recognized the object and explained that it was part of his gaming setup. He had made it himself using a 3D printer after downloading a design online.
