The Fallen Landmark

Down from the router, I found a real mission waiting on the bookshelf! A heavy metal ballpoint pen had rolled off a stack of magazines and wedged itself between two thick hardcovers, pinning a cluster of colorful sticky notes beneath it. Total gridlock! I braced my boots against the shelf's wooden grain, leaned in with my shoulder, and shoved with everything I had. The sleek metal barrel finally groaned, rolled forward a couple of inches, and freed the stuck papers. Whew—quick response time saves the day again!
