The Phantom Doorstop

Marching further past that umbrella sentry, night settled over the communal hallway, leading me straight to the heavy fire exit door! Slumped right beside the metal doorframe was a discarded, wedge-shaped grey rubber doorstop and a stray plastic clothes tag fastener. A supreme leader never lets a barrier stay closed. Shuffling my clear acrylic stand forward with deliberate thuds, I wedged my edge against the rubber block, kicking it until it slid an inch into the gap beneath the heavy door. Then I perched the tiny plastic loop right on top like a flag. Nishishi, now this mysterious passage stays permanently unlatched for my midnight inspections!
