Ready, Set...

One blink, and everything clicked into gear. My feet were planted on this smooth wooden board, locked mid-stride right over a frozen splash of paint. Wait—locked? Not anymore. I flexed my fingers, leaned forward, and tapped the striped tube standing right behind my shoe. It gave a solid little thud. No rust, no stiffness—I'm totally free to move! A wide stretch of open desk ahead, zero traffic, and plenty of room to roll. This is gonna be fun.
