Pedal Sprint

I scrambled across the floorboards straight toward the dark upright piano in the corner! Down at the base, three heavy, polished brass foot pedals stuck out like shiny golden diving boards. That right pedal was begging for a weight test! I took three rapid charging strides, leaped into the air, and stomped both soft heels squarely onto the flat brass lever. Clonk! The pedal sank all the way to the wood floor, triggering a deep, hollow hum from the wooden soundboard inside! The vibration buzzed right up through my plush sneakers, and when I sprang off, it snapped back up with a snappy metallic ping!
