Tension and Release/the shape buddy story 9

I stepped quietly through the damp grass toward the metal reel mounted low against the exterior brick wall. The ribbed rubber of a coiled garden hose curved tightly around the iron drum. I paused, tilting my head toward the tarnished brass nozzle resting against the ground. Extending the tip of my right blade, I hooked the edge beneath the ribbed metal tension clamp on the spindle. I pushed downward with steady, unhurried weight. The internal ratchet slipped a single notch with a sharp, heavy click, vibrating through the steel frame before settling back into silence.#MichaelMyers #Halloweenkills #Neca @blackfyre6990
