Perimeter Survey

Dawn shift began with a vertical push. I advanced from the book spine summit to the wooden windowsill directly above. Good traction along the sill. I checked my belt; the brass clip is secure. Beyond the glass, the outside sector revealed tall asphalt, three stationary vehicles, and moving tree canopy. A thick braided blind cord hung adjacent to the pane. Tested its weight-bearing capacity with a single pull. Solid anchor point. Marked for rapid descent if needed.
