My feeble effort…

“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!

It’s not a failure if the innocents were saved, IK. Nice job.

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!

Thanks! Not MacGyver, indeed, Bob, you are just you and that's enough for me! :DD

LOL I'm not sure MacGyver could do it with those tools, but Bob is a winner nonetheless!

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

Very seasonal and fitting and visual. It made me shiver.

Very well done, indeed.
