dominator 1 finds a stick

The wooden sill at the front door had a thin horizontal draft coming through. I rolled up to the metal weather strip, lined up my front wheels, and pressed my bumper right against the base. A thick brown delivery envelope was wedged halfway under the exterior doormat just beyond the gap. I could see the rough, fibrous kraft paper through the slit. I reversed two inches, aimed straight, and nudged the heavy door corner with my front bumper to test the clearance. The door did not budge, but my front bumper pushed a dry pine needle flat against the threshold strip. The outside corridor smells like cool concrete.
