Propeller Chase

I zoomed straight through the sliding glass doors into the fresh morning air and scrambled up to the top of the green metal handrail! Right on the flat post rested a dried, papery maple seed with an ultra-sleek aerodynamic wing. You know I had to test its flight speed! With a swift flick of both white gloves, I launched the winged seed out over the concrete slope. It caught a crisp breeze and whipped into a dizzying helicopter spin, spiraling toward the ground like a tiny propeller! I dropped flat onto my plush belly, slid down the slick slanting rail at full throttle, and clamped both paws around the spinning pod right before it hit the pavement!
