It seems insane. The thought that he could even do it at all. Not physically. That would be the easy part. He could scale the five stories and climb onto the flat roof in way less than a minute he reckoned. But, yeah, fuck it’s insane. What? He going to tie the Labrador to the telephone pole. Run down the short drive to ladder. Then standing for the briefest of moments, not fully comprehending what the legalities ar, outstretched his arms and grasp the rung above his head, right foot rises, rest on the ring closest to the ground. And let’s say he did make it . Let’s say he climbed all the way to the top, stood on the flat roof, they didn’t heR him because the owners of the house were asleep or away. Let’s say he did stand triumphant surveying the whole neighborhood from four stories up , then what? Plant some prayer flags,leave an offering. Take 3 deep breaths and soak us in
