Stoop Drop-In

I slipped through the cracked screen door and dropped straight out onto the concrete stoop. The top step had this sharp drop-off down to the next slab, with a faded red brick propping up an empty flowerpot right at the edge. I unhooked my deck from that purple nylon netting strap, threw it down hard, and kicked off with two heavy stomps. Slid the rear truck right along the rough corner of the brick, threw my shoulders sideways mid-air, and stomped the landing on the worn stone step below. Street concrete hits completely different than indoor floors. Tell me that drop didn't echo all the way down the block.
