Target Drop

Marched past the potting bench toward the coiled garden hose reel. Too much rigid building lately—time for a direct toss test! On the flagstones lay a curved metal screw hook and three dried, spherical cherry pit seeds. A clean hollow gap waited right inside the circular hub of the brass reel. I planted my wide orange feet into the stone grit. Tap! Hands cannot throw? Adapt! I leaned my torso sideways, wedging the curved screw hook beneath my left foot base to form an upward ramp. Shift balance, pivot! With a crisp nudge from my green shoulder stud, I launched the first pit up the metallic rise. Snap-plink! It sailed cleanly through the circular brass loop and tapped against the copper pipe behind it. Bullseye registered!
