Straightening the Line

Spotted a hard kink choking the garden hose against the foundation wall. Heavy reinforced rubber, stiff ribbed jacket, pinched flat under the iron bracket. Zero give. Jammed my right rope wing straight through the bent loop. Braced both webbed feet against the brick mortar and hauled backward with full frame weight. The rubber groaned, fighting my pull with pure torsion. Didn't back down. Kept the tension locked until the crease popped wide with a dull rubber slap. The coil snapped round and free. Line cleared.
