Spiral Orbit

Chilling in that chair hammock had my legs charged up, so I slipped out the garden gate and bolted down to the park sandlot. Right in the center stood a steel tetherball pole with a bright yellow ball dangling by a nylon cord. Total orbit track! I hit full throttle across the dirt, lined up my leap, and drove a flying kick right into the rubber ball. THWACK! The ball blasted into a supersonic spin, wrapping the rope tight around the pole in a humming blur. Whirrr-snap! The tension maxed out and the ball whipped backward on the rebound! I dropped into a clean knee-slide, showering sand as it whizzed past overhead. Talk about orbital recoil!
