Ready, Set...

Standing still is the absolute worst. One second I was frozen solid, and the next—bam! My toes actually moved. I gave my right shoe a solid tap against the dark wooden surface. A crisp click bounced right back into the dim room. Directly behind me sat a shiny metallic cylinder catching a glint of light. I spun around on my heels and shoved a gloved palm flat against its smooth, cool rim. Solid! No dust, no lag. I leaned forward, flexed both knees, and locked eyes down the open stretch of the tabletop. Time to get moving!
