Clear the Runway

I grabbed the plastic shoehorn leaning against the baseboard and dragged it across the floor mat! It clattered against the entryway tile with a loud snap, skittering sideways until it wedged flat beneath the umbrella stand. Now the whole corridor path from the rug to the door sill was completely open! I squared my shoulders, gave a quick bounce on my toes, and lined up my stance. The grand exit lane is officially clear for action!
