Doors

You know how hotels often have doors connecting the rooms? You can unlock and open your own door but the second must be opened from the adjacent room. My room here at Fort Sill is set up like that. New neighbors moved in with kids and today I heard a couple ragamuffins opening their door and playing around it. They were clearly interested in the secret passage.

I instantly had the urge to softly open my door then lunge in and scare the tar out of them. I'd do it up right, of course. I had an oversized pair of ragged blue coveralls and my choice of headgear. Shucks, I could even take my range deflection protractor (which happens to look like an aluminum battle axe).

Problem was, I'd have to evacuate my own room post haste so the parent(s) wouldn't catch me.

But I'd still need a place to sleep tonight, so...

...so I didn't do it. Such a shame. :-/ It was a fun idea, though, and still makes me smile.
