A Cable Route Down

Standing beside that stoic statue was getting a little stale, so I figured it was time for a quick descent. The edge looked like a sheer cliff, but I spotted a thick braided phone-charging cable dangling down the side of the shelf. I caught the cord with both gloved hands, wrapped my boots around the rubber sleeve, and slid down notch by notch. Landed right on the lower wooden ledge next to a stack of paperback books. Honestly, much smoother than jumping.
