Dort angekommen horchte ich eine Zeit lang. Als nichts zu hören war wurde ich mutiger. Ich ging noch weiter runter. Bis auf die Etage unter unserer W...hnung. Vielleicht schaute jemand gerade durch den Spion. Ich weiß es nicht. Dann noch eine halbe Treppe tiefer. Nun stand ich zwischen Parterre und erstem Obergeschoss. Das war schon verrückt. Was wenn jemand aus dem ersten OG kommt? Oder noch schlimmer. Jemand kommt aus der Wohnungstür und eine weitere Person öffnet gerade die Haustür. Ich stände. Still, I had no choice - this was all I had to free myself, sofree me it must. Still feeling woozy from having to near choke myself todeath, I raised back up to sit, leaning my back against the pipe, reachingbehind me to place the blade of the saw against where the U piece met thebig block of the lock.The screech of metal cutting through metal was near unbearable, so closeto my ear as it was. A thousand nails on chalkboards, a choir of howlermonkeys or Joan Rivers, Perez Hilton and Gilbert. I did start the recorder from my laptop before I went to bed. I also took two sleeping pills before I got into bed. I was out like a light about ten minutes later, and stayed asleep until the alarm went off the next morning.Denise went into the bathroom, and I went to my laptop. I turned off the recorder and went about my normal morning routine. I summoned the courage and fortitude to kiss Denise goodbye, and then headed for the office. I e-mailed the overnight recording file to Alan and went. That was disappointing, to say the least! I'd spent money, and a lot of time and attention to making my glory hole as nice as I could. I didn't want a sleazy ambience. I wanted it to be 'classy,' and a place some one would perhaps (hopefully!) want to return to again.So, as I said, months and months went by without a single person responding to my ad. In fact, I was starting to consider that I might just give up on the whole thing, when one day, as I was checking my e-mail, there was a reply!.
