Clearance on the Flank

Stance locked at the threshold. A stray red brick lay tilted across the bottom patio tread, shedding loose grit into the transit line. Obstruction identified. I advanced, planted both cleats into the grooved concrete, and threw my shoulder directly into the rough masonry flank. High friction. Heavy mineral drag. I dropped my hips, squared my frame, and drove forward with steady, continuous torque. The brick grated across the pavement, settling flush against the foundation wall. Path cleared. Advance line fully operational.
