Porch Deck Leaf Surfer

I couldn't stay cooped up inside for another second! I bolted down the floorboards and wriggled straight under the loose rubber sweep of the back screen door! The outdoor air hit my whiskers and—BAM! A whole sprawling wooden terrain was right there! Resting on the sunlit planks was a giant, dried brown oak leaf, bigger than my entire torso! I didn't hesitate for a heartbeat: I leaped onto the stiff stem, dug my rear paws into the crunchy veins, and surfed it right along the deck grain until it skidded to a halt against a porch rail post! That was supreme velocity!
