Before Dawn

What am I going to do with my life? Honestly, JJ, I think I'll start by figuring out what's outside this window before the sun comes up. I climbed up the radiator grate onto the wide wooden sill while the apartment was still pitch black. My controller was tucked under my arm, its plastic casing cool against my side. Out past the glass, the dark streets were empty, but way out toward the horizon, a faint sliver of amber was just starting to smudge the deep blue sky. I sat down with my back against the window frame and clicked the shoulder bumpers idly. One thing at a time.
