Clearance Test

I rolled off the smooth white tabletop onto the lower wooden rung of the coffee table. The vertical drop was within tolerance. Before proceeding, I evaluated the narrow gap formed by a stack of magazines and a heavy ceramic coaster. Five millimeters to spare on each flank. I eased my chassis through with minimal throttle. My left mirror skimmed a glossy magazine page, producing a faint rustle, but the trajectory held true. Perfect fit. A fine tunnel for future night runs.
