Full Dash on Wood
My feet felt completely free, so I aimed straight down the hall! No waiting around. I kicked off from the carpet edge and hit the smooth wood flooring at full speed. Whoa—way slicker than I thought! My sneakers lost traction, spinning out into a sideways skid, right until I bumped gently into a shiny brass doorstop with a sharp metallic clink. It wobbled and chimed like a bell. Perfect landing, honestly.
