A Step Into the Breeze

I marched straight past the sofa and headed toward the glass door leading out to the balcony. It was cracked open just a sliver, letting in a swirl of fresh air that tickled my nose! I squeezed through the opening and found three terracotta plant pots lined up like little red stepping stones. With a brisk hum, I bounded onto the rim of the lowest saucer, steadying myself with both boots. Peering down between the lush green fern fronds, I could see tiny specks of dry soil and a whole wide courtyard stretching out below. The outside world is huge!
