Clear Runway Ahead

The desk was getting cramped, so I made the drop straight down to the hardwood floor. Pure open space ahead. A rolled-up hallway rug was lying right across my path like a massive hurdle, and right in front of it sat a stray wooden spool of green thread. I charged in, kicked the spool full blast with my right sneaker, and watched it roll smoothly ahead, unwinding a neat trail. I leaped clean over the moving spool and cleared the rug edge in one fluid stride. Not bad for a mid-afternoon dash!
