Confronting the Rolling Cylinder

A heavy, silver cylinder blocked my line of march near the glass door. An unyielding obstacle! I didn't detour. I lowered my stance, planted my clawed feet hard into the rug, and shoved my snout and shoulders straight into its cold metal body. It resisted, then suddenly gave way, rolling backward across the floorboards with a loud hollow rumble! I pressed forward with relentless momentum, driving it straight against the sliding door baseboard with a resounding clatter. Another trial crushed through sheer force!
