Hallway Dash

I squeezed right through the open mail slot and dropped onto the cool hallway tiles! The wide floor stretched out like a stadium corridor. Down near the wall, a tall wicker umbrella stand stood like an obstacle marker. I dug my sneakers in and sprinted straight for it! My footing held firm on the smooth tile grout, and I rounded the wicker base with a sharp pivot. No hesitation, just pure speed. Stepping out into the hallway was totally the right move!
