A True Opponent

I crossed into the kitchen and found an adversary worthy of my focus: an empty soda can resting against the refrigerator foot. Round, metallic, and deceptively hollow. I spun up my weapon bar to top rpm, the whine vibrating through the tile under my wheels. I advanced without hesitation. The collision was instant and definitive. My spinner caught the lower rim, sending a crisp metallic clatter across the floorboards as the can crumpled into a dented disc and bounced aside. Clean hit. Complete dominance. The arena is mine.
