“GO!”

Stetsons flew past Ray. The sound of their collision with the wall followed the shhhrack of Velcro and the thwip of bootlaces being yanked through grommets.

Meanwhile, boot heels thudded against hardwood. Buckles jingled softly. Zippers purred. Cloth rustled.

“Time!” shouted Turnbull, raising his hands above his head.

“Drat,” muttered Fraser, his thumbs tucked behind his boxers’ waistband.

Ray looked at the stopwatch. “Forty-nine seconds. A new record. Ready for your prize?”
