In the Middle of the Night #SOL26

 What is it?

I stir at 
the typical 3:30 a.m.,
and just as I am 
dozing off,
a high-pitched
chirping emanates 
from downstairs.

I stumble 
to the source 
with a red light,
but nothing else
out of the ordinary.

The only way
to stop it
is to 
climb up 
to replace 
its life source.
