Click! that was the sound made as the door closed. I had my keys in my pocket and the misses didn't have hers, yet. No problem, I'll just open the door....but I can't. Looks here are different. They are these huge complex devices to keep voleurs, that is thieves, out. Apparently the more complex and expensive they are the better they keep them out. This lock, if you leave a key in the keyhole keeps the other side from turning. So now we are truly fucked.
I gently knock on my neighbors door and ask her if I can walk through her apartment and her garden to get into my apartment, again. No, this isn't the first time I've been locked out of our place. The last time wasn't my fault either. So I gently shimmy through the bushes and walk up to our window which I locked. Good thing I didn't put the shutters down because we'd be seriously screwed. So I choose the oldest, most beat up window in our apartment and try to pry it open, and I almost make it inside until CRASH! the window broke.
So now there is glass and debris all over the floor and me and a big gapping whole where a window used to be. For now, the shutters are down until I can get a replacement. Good thing this happened in the summer, if it was the winter time this would be a different story, indeed.
