Tactical Ice Recovery

Sub-zero hazard detected! A dense, frosty cube had tumbled straight from the dispenser zone onto the vinyl floor. Defrost countdown underway! I sprinted across the open perimeter, dropped into a low crouch, and squared my shoulders. Target was slick, cold, and rapidly sweating moisture onto the tile. No time to lose! I extended both gloved hands, locked my grip against the smooth melting edges, and drove my cleats hard against the vinyl grip. Slid the entire icy payload thirty inches straight toward the drain mat before runoff occurred. Perimeter secured!
