Window of Opportunity

You knock at the door.

Silence. Not one movement.

"Hey," you yell. "It's me. Open up!"

Silence.

"Please."

Silence, and that stillness.

You wait. "Shit," you mutter. "Door of opportunity my ass."

You walk away and then, "Damn," and it hits you.

You should have known. Opportunity's a fucking window.








As you exit the building, you try to convince yourself that climbing the fire escape will be fun.
