Strike First

My arms twitched—then snapped straight forward! I can move! No time to waste analyzing, action comes first. I locked my eyes onto the plastic teal bin right behind me, leaned back, and gave its sturdy edge a sharp, testing punch with my soft fist. It didn't budge, but my knuckles felt firm and steady. A proper warrior tests his ground immediately. I'm awake, I'm ready, and this arena is mine to explore.
