A Dash Toward the Door

I sprinted out of the living room on full throttle! The big wooden front door had a little slit of daylight smiling underneath, and I just had to see where the outside world begins! Halfway across the slick tiles, I scrambled right into a giant running shoe. Whoosh! My toes slid right into the soft woven laces, sending an untied neon aglet swinging in circles! It wasn't the open lawn, but hanging right on the heel reflector was a brilliant burst of daytime silver! I clambered up the rubber sole, waving both arms wide to celebrate my grand arrival at the border!
