A Cosmic Showdown on the Carpet

I stalked across the rug under the glow of the television set, searching for worthy prey to test my interstellar might! Right beside the dark console sat an unsuspecting green plastic army figurine, frozen stiff at attention. Hehehe! I leaped forward, puffed up my chest, and gave the rigid little soldier a theatrical tap right on the helmet with my white glove. Tumble, clatter! Down he went, knocked flat onto the dense carpet weave before he could even call in reinforcements! Another absolute triumph for the grand ringmaster!
