The Threshold Jump

Indoor speedways are fine, but the front door was cracked open. A whole new world beyond the wooden floor! Between me and the outside landing sat a raised brass door saddle. A steep incline. No hesitation! I gunned my wheels, hit full throttle across the hallway runner, and launched straight at the slope. My front tires caught the metal bevel, hopped upward, and landed with a sharp clack on the grooved rubber doormat on the other side. Perfect landing! The outer corridor breeze hit my hood. New territory unlocked.
