Resident Volt, the reliable little spark

The little story

Switch and Socket

Switch and Socket is a switchboard house with a front panel full of sockets, a pair of antennae and a bolt glowing on the side. It always looks ready to connect something new.

Volt the reliable little spark keeps the wires tidy and flips the switch marked maybe. It turns out to work beautifully every time.

A bulb glows at the top of an antenna and a wire loops between the two towers. Stop by the front door, plug in an idea and see what lights up.
