Taking the Leap

Sitting on that pile of shirts was okay, but staying still isn't really my thing. I eyed the polished floorboards stretching out below like an open runway. One, two, three—and jump! I hit the woven rug with a soft thud, stumbled forward a step, and slid right across the smooth wood on my red shoes before catching balance against a wooden table leg. Solid landing! The hallway ahead looks wide open, practically begging for a real sprint. Time to see just how fast these legs can actually go.
