Travis ran straight at the building, and quickly started trying to backpedal when he realized he had no idea how to do what he was trying to do. His hands planted against the brick, and he turned around, thinking that he maybe he needed to jump at the wall. He went into a full run again, and at the last moment jumped straight forward, only to smack into the wall and fall. It didn’t hurt, luckily, but it was embarrassing.
“What am I doing? I’m not Spiderman, or even Toby Maguire, for that matter,” he said as he walked back to his starting spot to try again. He tried and failed once more, got the idea to sent up a small ramp to lead up the wall, and as he ran the ramp broke underneath him, causing him to slam headfirst into the wall.
“Ack. Okay, one more try. Then I’m out of here.” He ran once more at the building, putting a little speed into his dash, and in a split second decided to treat the wall as if it were the ground and planted his next step on it, then adjusted the next one to also use the wall as the ground. He managed to run three steps before he realized he was doing it, at which point he immediately fell the five feet to the ground.
“Yes!” he whispered, lying on his back, a little sore. “This actually is kinda awesome.”
“Having fun?” a familiar voice called.
