Breaching the Glass Barrier

Equipped with my freshly crafted buckler, staying hidden beneath the coffee table was no longer an option—a hero's mission lies out in the wide open. I marched across the hardwood floor toward the towering glass sliding door leading to the balcony. Right along the aluminum bottom track, a thick yellow dust bunny had blocked the groove. Raising my shield to brace against the resistance, I gave the blockage a solid kick, clearing a clean pathway straight to the outer glass. Through the pane, the sunlight hit my visor, revealing an entire concrete expanse just waiting to be explored.
