A Royal Leap

Leaving the return slot behind, I bolted right into the library's quiet courtyard! In the middle sat a heavy concrete picnic table carved with a black-and-white tiled checkerboard. One giant, carved wooden knight piece was tipped over sideways on a grey square, blocking the diagonal line. I didn't slow down—I bounded up the bench, leaped onto the textured stone tabletop, and threw my shoulder against the fallen knight's sturdy wooden flank. With a firm grunt and both boots planted against the marble grain, I shoved it upright until it stood proudly on its square. Now the whole checkered field is clear for a real dash! #SonicTheHedgehog #AmyRose
