Dropping In

I grabbed the thick braided cable looping off the desk and swung my legs out into the drop. Sliding fast, I caught the edge of the swivel chair with both boots, absorbing the shock as the cushion dipped beneath me. The whole chair rolled a couple of inches across the floor from the momentum, squeaking on its casters. That high desk was getting way too small for me anyway. Dropping down to floor level gave me a clear run toward the open hallway, and I wasn't about to waste daylight staying cooped up on a riser. #Vanillaice
