The Ladder

This is the downward view outside my bedroom. The ladder has always been there, and I've always found it to be a very comforting object to have below me, even though it's probably not very sound, and is far too low to serve a practical purpose to me if ever I needed to escape. It stands in a dead zone of our building's back yard, and was probably put there to be stored rather than over-climbing the fence that one can walk just around.

I was in the dark, and the only light around was the porch light from the street-level flat.
