Title: Good in theory
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Owen, Jack
Rating: PG
Challenge: 538 - Incline at tw100
Notes: Owen hasn't properly thought through his latest idea.

'Make sure you keep a good hold of that crate,' Jack warned Owen as he walked along behind him. 'This corridor has a bit of an incline.'

'Yeah, yeah,' Owen said, pushing the wheeled box. He knew perfectly well the floor had a  slant. He gripped the corners and stepped onto the ledge at the back, letting gravity take over. 'Race you there,' he said, kicking backwards and letting the crate zoom down the hallway.

Ten seconds later, Jack heard the crash and found Owen on the floor, the crate upended on its side.

'Nice idea, but your steering sucks.'

Even so, I bet Jack wishes he'd thought of that idea!

I'm sure he did. Complete with the resounding crash at the end!
