Magnet Test

The magnet stuck to my hook needed a test! Skittered fast across the parlor tiles to the drafty glass balcony door. Down at the base, caught in the runner groove... a stray steel ball bearing! Crept low. Reached my hook out, steady... click! The bearing jumped instantly, snapping tight against the little magnet cylinder! Too fast—metal vibrated up my arm! Jerked backward in a sudden panic, ducking behind the heavy velvet curtain hem. Held my breath. Peeked out. The bearing didn't fall. It stayed locked to the magnet. Powerful trick. Mine now.
