Tactical Dispersion

A pale dandelion sphere was anchored beside the garden border, perfectly round and entirely unregulated. Four seconds of silent appraisal. Suspiciously fragile architecture. I approached to test its structural integrity before the afternoon breeze escalated. One calculated swat with my right front paw. Zero resistance. The entire dome decoupled in an instant, dozens of tiny parachutes launching into the air in disciplined silent formation. I held my posture, tracking the drift across the lawn until the final filament vanished over the fence. Clean demolition. The garden airspace has resumed normal operations.
