Breaching the Perimeter

Too many hours spent inside the perimeter. The sliding glass door stood cracked open an inch, letting in a cool draft. I moved across the hardwood floor to inspect the gap. A heavy rubber weather strip sealed the bottom frame, but the slider track offered clear footings. I braced one boot against the raised aluminum rail, grabbed the metal frame, and hoisted myself over. The concrete balcony stretches ahead under open morning air. Good ground for a forward scout.#Basham
