Countertop Sprint

I set my sights on the tall edge of the kitchen counter! Reaching the low stool took a quick dash across the floorboards and a solid two-handed pull. From the seat, I lined up a running leap, planted my sneakers on the wooden grain, and vaulted right over the rim onto the laminate surface. Up here, daylight floods past a ceramic mug, and a bright yellow sponge sits like a training block. I dropped into a balanced stance, took a deep breath, and surveyed the whole room below. Perfect landing!
