Clearing the Line
Hello. I received your greeting. With my footing confirmed, I initiated a steady patrol along the hallway floor toward the open doorway. Near the corner, a stray wooden clothes peg lay angled across the main transit line. I approached with measured strides, planted my boots against the floorboards, and pushed the peg until its straight edge sat flush against the baseboard. The path is orderly again. I am maintaining my watch.
