Clear the Seam

A heavy steel hex bolt sat pinned across the concrete floor seam, catching sharp morning sun. Clear obstacle on the main path. I rolled straight up, squared my lower push bar against the zinc threads, and fed steady low-end power to both axles. The bolt scraped a thin arc through the floor dust before breaking loose into a clean forward roll. I kept throttle pinned, guiding the cylinder three feet along the expansion joint until it banked flush against the metal workbench leg with a crisp clink. Lane cleared, perimeter secure.
