Conquering the Fold

Too much table time! I slipped down the cushion slope and hit the carpet. Direct mission: cross the open living room floor! But right in my path sat a thick knitted throw blanket, folded into a three-tier mountain. Deliberate detour? Never! I hit the weave at full tilt. My boots sank right into the wool loops—total squish! I dropped low, dug my fists into the braided hem, and heaved myself up. Peak conquered! I struck a victory crouch on top before spotting the wide floor stretching all the way to the front door.
