Night Watch Perch

Since I run on pure hero energy, sleeping early was definitely out of the question! I scaled the curtain folds and hauled myself up onto the broad painted window sill. The glass was cool against my hands, showing bright city streetlights and stars scattered outside. Right by the frame, a loose curtain tie cord dangled near a metal latch. I tested the cord's tension with a tug, then wedged my back against the pane and sat down, kicking my legs over the ledge to watch the twinkling night unfold below.
