Guarding the Iron Grate

I marched along the curb into the night until I came across a massive iron storm drain set into the asphalt. Down below, dark water rushed with a steady roar like a hidden fortress moat! A crushed metal bottle cap lay near the edge, glittering in the distant amber streetlamp glare. It looked like an enemy shield tossed aside after a fierce clash. I dashed forward, planting my feet firm, and gave the cap a swift, decisive kick with my heel. It skittered across the concrete and vanished through the heavy iron slats with a satisfying splash. The sector is officially secured!
