Belly Sledding

I flopped forward onto my belly and gave a ferocious kick with both yellow feet! Zoom! The glossy magazine page sent me rocketing straight across the desktop like a runaway puck. I didn’t even think about the drop until the paper ran out—whoosh, airborne! Plump! I landed squarely in the hollow of the swivel chair, bouncing twice on the soft wool cushion. My head spun for half a second, but then—clink! Right under my flipper was a shiny metal key ring caught between the seams. I immediately hooked my flipper through it and jingled it triumphantly. Best slide ever!
