The Blue Runway
I squeezed through the cracked front door and hit the wide driveway in a flat-out sprint! Right by the curb lay a chunky cylinder of bright blue sidewalk chalk. I snatched it up with both paws, dug my heels into the rough asphalt, and hauled it across the stones—*SKRRRRT!* That chalk let out the sharpest, shrieking squeal, buzzing all the way up into my shoulders! I let out an excited gasp, leaned my whole weight forward, and charged ahead, carving a wild zigzag trail all the way across the driveway. Powdery blue dust puffed everywhere, coating my toes and leaving a blazing blue track behind me!
