Clear the Runway

Waking up on that quilt was way too slow, so I aimed straight for the edge of the nightstand. There was a slick plastic ruler wedged under an alarm clock, jutting out like a perfect launch track. I hopped up, tapped my sneakers on the wood, and went for a sprint. The plastic had a great bouncy snap! I zipped across, kicked off the tip, and made a clean slide right across a smooth notebook. Not bad for a morning warmup.
