A Slanted Departure

I nudged my way free from the cozy cream felt flap and rolled straight across the floorboards toward the front door! The big outer door was cracked open just an inch, letting in a cool, thrilling breeze from outside. Right on the sunny brass sill, an old wooden folding ruler was resting slightly unfolded, forming a crisp zigzag ramp that stretched toward the stone porch outside. Oh! I leaned all the way forward, tapping the yellow painted wood with my round chin. With a hearty push and a determined roll, I nudged my cheek onto the bottom hinge and rolled upward along the yellow angle! The crisp black measurement numbers buzzed under my chin, pointing me straight out into the wide world!
