A loud creak comes from the floor underneath you causing you to quickly grab unto the railing. Due to the wood being old, its foundation has become weak and could no longer carry too much weight. Once you've secured yourself on the balcony, you peer down at the ballroom underneath you and the crystal chandelier hanging above it. A loose piece of wire dangles on one of the metal bars that support the chandelier. From where you are at, it seems easy to swing yourself across the ballroom towards the banquet table. The broken window behind you spews a cold breeze that sends shivers down your back.
