So go up I did. 7:20 in the morning and poetry book tucked into one pocket. Empty corridors, only the swish-swish of some sweeper two floors below.

I ran up the last flight of steps. Came face to face with a new door. Metal. With cross bars. Sharp edged lock. A thin sliver of light sneaking out from underneath.

Typical really of everything else that's happening these days.

well, that's that. unless you learn how to pick locks with a pin.
