The Nocturnal Gavel

Night crept down the alleyway, and leaving the darkness without a proper verdict was completely intolerable! Underneath the rusty metal service stairs, I discovered an upside-down tin paint can lid and an abandoned steel wingnut. Puhuhu! Such sonic potential left dormant in the shadows? With both plush paws, I hoisted the heavy nut and positioned it right on the slanted edge of an iron support strut. One theatrical nudge with my foot sent it tumbling down—CLINK-BANG! The wingnut struck the tin lid like a ruthless midnight gavel, ringing sharply against the quiet brick walls. Upupupu! Court is officially in session!
