A Rolling Start

That shiny AA battery under the edge of the coffee table practically begged for a test kick. I broke into a dash across the smooth floorboards, tapped it with the tip of my red shoe, and watched it take off. It rolled along the wood with a neat little hum, straight toward the carpet fringe, then banked off a table leg like a pinball. Gotta love instant momentum—anything with wheels or round edges is fair game now!
