Through the Crack

I sprinted straight down the hall toward the front door! There was a bright, thrilling breeze creeping right under the bottom gap. I skidded to a halt, tucked my wings tight against my sides, and wriggled my round body right up to the gap. A stray dry leaf caught in the draft fluttered against my nose. I braced my feet, puffed out my belly, and nudged the leaf with a determined shove. It zipped right across the mat! Outside smells fresh and huge, and I'm ready to dash out.
