I stepped up another shelf, nearly to the top but not close enough.

I was in a guest bathroom, I told them I was going to head in the shower, and they stupidly agreed.

Steam filled the bathroom as the empty shower ran. I thought that the noise would drown out my frustrated grunts.

The razors and scissors were on the top shelf, an odd place to keep them I thought. they could easily grab them for me but I was going to use the scissors for a different reason.

My escape.

There's a window that leads to a two-story drop, if I climbed the roof and slid down a pillar then I'd make it. I just need something to get these screws out of the locked window so it'll open.

The expensive glass is nearly impossible to break I swear.

I tried jumping to grab them from the top shelf, but as much as it taints my ego... I'm pretty short. My mom is only two inches taller than me so I'm sure I got the smaller height from her.

Anyways, jumping didn't work out so now I'm trying to climb the shelves, it's at a weird angle and I already feel myself slipping-

Ow!

The unforgiving bite of the hard tile hit my head and my elbows, the worst places to break my fall.

They definitely heard that...

I sighed loudly, I'd been here for two days, and I haven't spoken to any of them, they only come in to give me meals and try and pry some conversation from me, but I usually just ask for them to charge my phone.

"Everything okay in there?" I heard someone outside the door ask.

I scrambled to my feet, ignoring the dizziness that came with it. "Yup!" I answered, annoyed as I shut off the over-complicated shower.

I wasn't naked, but I had no shirt on and didn't want them to see that. I've already racked up a list of things I'd have to repent for.

Even if they did ask why my hair wasn't wet, I wouldn't talk back. I don't think they would guess that I'd be trying to escape, I've been a nice hostage.
