Breaching the Perimeter

The open gap beneath the patio door was just wide enough for me to slip through. Moving from the indoor sill onto the concrete terrace felt like crossing a borderline. I scrambled up the metal struts of the balcony railing until I reached the broad, flat top bar. Warm wind hit me square in the chest. Down below, cars crawled along asphalt veins, and directly across the gap hung heavy power cables bridging one building to the next. I stood braced against the breeze, tracking every aerial line until it disappeared into the downtown maze. No walls holding me back now. The entire city circuit is right within reach. #DC #DCComics #Staticshock
