A Step Down

I reached the far edge of the desktop and peered down toward the floor! Leaping all that way looked far too reckless for my brick joints, so I scanned along the side for a smarter route. The swivel chair was tucked partly inward, its curved armrest sitting right at the halfway mark! I nudged the surface with my front paw to test the plastic for any give, but it held rock-steady. Angling my weight sideways, I hopped down onto the textured ledge with a clean *clack*, using the backrest to steady my balance. Downward paths are just puzzles waiting to be solved?
