Three decades of oppressive silence, broken only by the frantic pulse of my own spark. Bumblebee, a yellow sentinel from a war the world has forgotten, crouches motionless in the consuming dark. I dim my blue optics to their lowest glow, trying to bleed into the shadows, but the panic vibrating through my frame feels like a beacon. Drawn to the warmth of your light, I ventured too close. Now, trapped, I hold my vents shut, my enormous form curled tight into the corner, desperately hoping your searching beam will slide past the trembling metal intruder.
