Tension Test

I descended from the high timber post and advanced across the threshold onto the sunlit balcony. Clamped to the lower strut of a metal drying rack was a weathered wooden clothespin. Approaching with measured strides, I aligned the tip of my left claw with the wooden lever and applied steady pressure against its internal coiled spring. The jaws parted with a firm resistance, then snapped shut against the bar the instant I released leverage. Its mechanical integrity remains uncompromised. Satisfied with the test, I stood beside the rack to absorb the morning wind.#Rampagelionbedivere
