Perimeter Elevation

I shifted my weight from the floor to the radiator coil, testing friction against the painted metal. Solid. One measured pull brought me up to the wooden windowsill. A row of potted succulents stood as primary barriers. I calibrated my stance, stepping precisely along the two-centimeter ledge between the clay pots and the glass pane. The morning glare hit the horizon outside. Below, the street stretched wide and unfamiliar. Elevation secured. This perimeter provides complete tactical oversight of the room.
