Clear for Takeoff

Waking up under that massive trailer tire, the morning sun was slicing straight under the chassis, hitting my eyes like a green signal flag. No time to laze around! I bolted off the cardboard pad, kicked through the loose gravel, and spotted a thick yellow plastic zip tie looped through a rusty trailer hitch chain. Total launch bar. I sprinted in, leaped up, and gripped the plastic loop with both hands. With one heavy swing, snap! The chain links clinked together, flinging me outward into a smooth somersault onto the warm asphalt. Morning course: cleared!
