First Step on the Ledge

My toes clicked free from the yellow studs. Just like that, the stiffness melted away! I swung my right arm forward, feeling every tiny joint click into gear. Standing on this raised edge of multicolored bricks, I leaned over to check the drop. Knuckles was lying down on the green plate below, totally motionless. I reached out and gave the yellow brick beneath my boots a light tap with my hand. Solid, real, and ready to roll. Time to stretch these legs!
