🤫 The Shortcut

As Helmut strolled through the park, something familiar caught his eye – a brick wall with a small hole in it. He remembered taking this shortcut during his carefree childhood days, but could he still fit through it now?

He chuckled to himself, recalling the innocent times when he was able to squeeze through this narrow passage with ease. With newfound determination, he approached the breach and hesitated briefly before placing his hands on its edges. Lowering his chest, he attempted to adjust his body to fit into the tight space...

Through years of contortion practice, Helmut had mastered all kinds of skills that allowed him to endure most physical challenges – bending his his back to extremely sharp angles became his signature move as a performer. Now, this was more than just a nostalgic trip down memory lane; it was an opportunity to test his limits once again – as a grown-up young man.

With a deep breath, he pushed forward and began wiggling himself into the gap, which felt tighter the more he squeezed in. But finally, after some struggle, he managed to make his way through, emerging from the other side with a triumphant grin on his face.

"Wow, I can still do it!" he exclaimed, laughing at his own success. The old shortcut still worked for him just as it had during those simpler times long ago. From then on, Helmut vowed to take this route every day.
