First Roll

My axles locked, then snapped alive! Heavy rubber tires gripped the patterned cloth beneath me. Ahead sat a line of quiet trucks, parked beside a big grinning pixel pillow. No stalling. I revved forward in one hard burst, crunching straight into the wrinkle of the blanket. My front bumper nudged the side wheel of the blue truck next to me. Solid metal clink! Power is real. Ground is solid. I can roll!
