“I planned a limited explosion, not a huge fire,” Illya Kuryakin grumbled, his expression glum. “Setting a device at that pace creates opportunities for things to go wrong. Not your fault,” Napoleon Solo replied. “The important thing is that the Thrush lab was decommissioned.” “Still…” Illya sighed unhappily. “I failed.” Napoleon recalled the surreal vision of his partner dashing through flames to free the helpless lab animals. Solo patted Illya’s uninjured arm reassuringly. “No. You didn’t fail. Now rest and get well, please.” “The burns are not severe,” Kuryakin murmured, lying back in the infirmary bed. “Thank you, my friend.”
Poor Illya. He's got a classic case of ,"Think you used enough dynamite there, Butch?" - it's the only thing I remember about that movie. At least the animals were saved! Illya, and you, for the win!

Lol, awesome!
My attempt for this week:
The expression on Bob's face as he paced back and forth was hilarious. He looked like one of those surreal paintings in a museum.
He had an important task to do before the next outdoorsman meeting.
He had to learn how to make fire somehow... using a paper clip and dried beans. What in the world... he's not MacGyver!

Very clever ending and great use of the words!
Here's mine...
*
It’s important to fly,
when night creatures its way
into darkness tight,
and wings bird their way
in a surreal flight
*
It’s important to run,
when twilight wolfs its way
into fiery space,
and fish fin their way
in a watery pace
*
It’s important to crawl,
when day sloths its way
into steps create,
and shells turtle their way
in an expression's gait
