The Vanguard Signal

I marched down the front driveway to the roadside mailbox anchored upon a heavy cedar post. Flanked against the black steel housing was a vibrant red metal signal flag, an essential kinetic beacon for outer-sector communications. Scaling the timber support in two swift bounds, I secured my armored footing upon the mounting bracket. I aligned the tapered edge of my right gauntlet beneath the steel arm and applied calibrated upward torque. The pivot rivet resisted with firm, unyielding friction until the flag locked upright at an immaculate ninety-degree angle. The beacon holds firm against the morning breeze.
