Slipstream Draft

A narrow gap opened between the refrigerator base and the tile floor. Air currents hummed steadily along the baseboard, creating an unexpected headwind. I lined up my chassis three inches back, angling slightly to counter the low-pressure draft. Throttle steady. Rubber tires bit into the slick glaze of the tiles, holding traction as the cool breeze pushed over my front wing. Downforce increased. I glided through the aerodynamic channel without drifting a single millimeter off line.
