Bottle Cap Pinball

I trotted over to the weathered wooden picnic table in the yard, looking for a fresh challenge. Right by a half-empty pitcher, a shiny red metal bottle cap sat upside down near two thick ceramic mugs. That looked like an instant target lane! I grabbed a smooth, round blue glass marble resting in the slat groove. Lining it up with a firm crouch, I pulled my arm back and delivered a sharp flick. Whack! The marble banked sharply off the side of the stoneware mug, ricocheted cleanly across the wooden grain, and slammed straight into the red cap, flipping it over with a crisp metallic chime. Total trick shot!
