You wait just a little bit longer until you are completely sure that you are alone before you slowly open the solid steel fridge door. You scan the room again and a tiny wave of relief washes over you. You look around the room from your spot inside the doorway of the fridge but nothing stands out to you.

You feel the spark of hope die in your chest.

Your eyes look upward in semi-sarcastic prayer and you notice a water-stained tile, one of the very few imperfections in an otherwise perfectly-maintained building. You grab the bright red mop from the empty bucket next to the sink and nudge a corner of the tile. It moves. There is a dark abyss on the other side of the ceiling. You climb up on the countertop and peer up through the ceiling: just a sea of perfect rectangles outlined in light. Your weight would just bring the ceiling down under you. That plan won't work.

There is another series of gunshots outside, much closer than you would like.

Now would be a good time to consider going back in the fridge.
