A few years back, I was living on the 2nd floor in a large appartment complex. The appartment had a small balcony off of the living room with just enough room for a couple of chairs to sit on. One night I decided it was a good night to dress so I did. I dressed in a nice dress with the hem just above the knee. Wig, make-up, shoes, you get the drift. I was feeling very pretty that night! So later or actually it was about 3 A.M. I decided to go and sit on the balcony for a little while, I felt safe since most were still in bed. So I went out and out of habit I closed the sliding door behind me. Well that sliding door had an automatic lock on it, and it was very important to make sure this auto feature was disarmed if you planned on going back into the house. Well you guessed it, I didn't, and found myself locked outside of my appartment on the second floor balcony. The second that the door closed I heard the ratchetting sound of the lock and I felt all the blood leave my face from fear. I kind of regained my composure and sat on a chair to contemplate what I was going to do. I found an ugly fairly heavy budda type figurine that had a flat edge around the top so I used it to attept to pry the door open, over and over again without success. I was like, ok Jen now what? since the door closing an hour or so had passed, I thought I could climb down ( that would have been hillarious to watch) and go to the managers appt for him to get a spare key. I was thinking it would hopefully only be him I would have to out myself to directly since it was still pretty early in the A.M. But the climbing down was rather tricky and i decided that route had to be the last resort. Now the light of dawn is approaching, birds are starting to sing, and I had to be at work at 11:00 that day. Not to mention my neighbors went to work real soon. So I made the decision I would pay for a new window glass, so I used that figurine and hit the glass really hard. The glass didnt break it just made a very loud B A N G !!! I couldnt believe it! It was Super glass!! I tried one more time to pry open the door, saying to myself either the door or the figurine will bend or break. With a very loud POP the door opend. Was I so relieved. I ran in, quickest I ever undressed and went to bed safe for another time.
