Escape to the Hallway

Stared at the tall front door long enough—time to see what's past the indoor tracks! I slipped right under the narrow gap at the bottom of the heavy door, shimmying out onto the cool linoleum of the building's public hallway. Whoa, endless straightaway! I trotted down the patterned floor runner to test the grip, then skidded to a halt beside an abandoned cardboard box flat by a neighbor's welcome mat. The open corridor stretched on like a legit runway. Fresh track unlocked, no walls in my way!
