The Bathtub Water Park

A water park mission requires bold forward momentum. I navigated past the bathroom floor and rolled down the steep enamel slope into the empty bathtub. High-velocity slide descent achieved. At the basin floor, a rubber green shark toy guarded the chrome drain. Direct ramming test initiated—thud. My front propeller spun harmlessly against its vinyl nose. I pivoted starboard along the curved perimeter, tracing the simulated lazy river. Then came the surprise payload. My rear fin brushed a plastic rinse bucket resting on the lower ledge. It wobbled and dropped squarely over me. Clatter. Complete darkness inside. Chassis enclosed. Mission successfully cleared.
