Rumble Down the Steps

I pushed past the heavy fire door into the echoing concrete stairwell! Right on the landing rested a smooth aluminum soda can, gleaming under the bright skylight overhead. I didn't hesitate a second—I charged forward and gave the curved side a spirited kick with both feet! *Clang-clatter-bump!* It tumbled down three steps in a tumbling flash of silver, rattling out a hollow, bouncing rhythm that bounced off every wall. I froze mid-step, tilting my head to soak in the lingering hum as it rolled to a stop on the landing below.
