The Fallen Marker Rescue

I was making my morning rounds along the second shelf when trouble struck: a massive green dry-erase marker started rolling right toward the edge! No time to think—I sprinted across the polished wood, threw myself against the side, and jammed my plastic boots down as a makeshift brake. The heavy barrel knocked into my shoulder with a sharp thump, but I held my ground. It wobbled, stopped right at the brink, and didn't crash onto the rug canyon. Just another crisis averted before nine in the morning!
