Morning Dash

Morning light just hit the hallway, and I saw a brand-new track! I hopped down from the coffee table and took off across the long runner rug. Halfway through, a rolled-up magazine blocked the lane like a speed bump. Slow down? Never! I launched right over the curved paper, hit the slick hardwood floor with a skid, and caught a shiny silver washer spinning by the skirting board with my shoe. Nailed the landing! Best morning sprint yet.
