Yet another day arrives. I make myself breakfast and hop in my car. About an hour later, I arrive at the site. 

"Did you hear of the spree?" I overhear a worker say.

"Quite the contrary. May I inquire what you may be running on about?" says the other.

"Apparently, the director stayed up all night working on blueprints. 

"To be so eloquent as classifying this particular matter as a "spree" of sorts, I decline. Notwithstanding, my mentality cannot concoct a stricter definition."

"Yeah."

I shrug it off and begin working on the ceiling. I saw the walls were extended vertically and made me feel tiny. I climbed up using a ladder and began constructing the ceiling. A few more workers arrived and started doing the same. 

                                                                                     ***

After around five hours, the ceiling was finally done. I decided to go in the building and test it, making sure to keep my radio on hand. 

"Hello? Can you hear me?" I say into the radio.

"Positive." 

"Alright. I think the ceilings are holding up. But you can probably see that."

"Nice."

"Okay, I'm coming out right now." 

"I didn't know you were gay..??"

I laugh. 

"I meant out of the construction site."

"Ah."

I head towards the exit to find...nothing? I swear the exit was right here...

"Um..." I stutter.

"What is it?"

"The exit isn't here..."

"Stop trying to pull a Hollywood, you probably went the wrong direction."

"No seriously. Go look at the exit door." 

I hear distant walking on the radio. 

"The exit is fine."

"Can you open this please?"

"Oookay...?"

Suddenly, a door pops open. The worker gives me a look like "you kidding me??"

"Ok look-"

"It's fine, I believe you. Come on."

I walk out and back to my car. I don't really know why the door just disappeared, but...meh, I'll figure it out later...
