Testing My Balance

A gentle evening breeze drifted past, and my fingers twitched. Beneath my hands, the smooth aluminum plank felt refreshingly cool. Slowly, I pushed against the silver bench and felt my knees straighten. I can actually move! Finding my footing on the ground, I tapped my sneakers lightly against the surface, testing each step. Steady hands, steady feet. I paused with a quiet smile, resting my palms against the cold metal railing. My balance is wonderfully firm!
