A Roller on Wheels

I kicked my cardboard barricade aside and marched out into the morning gravel. That's when I saw it—a discarded blue plastic inline skate resting sideways against a trash bin! Wheels! Real rolling wheels right in my territory! I scrambled over, grabbed the plastic cuff with both paws, and hauled myself onto the tongue. One wheel was jammed with a dried leaf, but I kicked it free until the whole polyurethane frame rolled forward two inches under my weight. Ha! A mobile war rig waiting for a captain! Next step: steering this monster down the asphalt!
