Taming the Porch Beast

I slipped past the heavy front door while it was propped ajar and dashed right out onto the concrete porch steps! The world out here is huge! Right on the second step down, I spotted a colossal, prickly pinecone resting like an ancient boulder. An adventurer never leaves prime cargo unexamined! I dug my feet into the gritty stone, wrapped both arms around its tough woody scales, and gave a mighty heave. With a sharp crunch, I rolled that heavyweight beast across the step and wedged it snugly into the corner by the iron railing. Outpost defense secured!
