Countertop Dash

The morning rush was buzzing by the plaza kiosk, and I wasn't about to stay on ground level. I scrambled up an outdoor wooden stool, hopped straight onto the smooth green laminate counter, and found my target: a shiny row of metal teaspoons standing in a ceramic jar. I kicked off the edge, grabbed a spoon handle like a lever, and gave it a sharp yank. The bowl flipped upward with a sharp ping, sending a stray sugar crystal flying like a spark. I caught my balance on the counter edge, ducking behind a paper napkin dispenser just before someone grabbed their morning cup. Fast moves, zero delays!
