Bright Night

By Jordan Pedro

Walk down the ally
Towards the hotel
Everything is set
Time to move in

Out by the back door
What room was it?
Room thirteen
The one on the end

Go in through the back
Nobody notices
Nobody cares
They’re all paid

Security is gone
Right on schedule
Take the elevator
Stairs are slow

Once upstairs
I go to the door
It’s unlocked
I enter

The tenant’s in the shower
The music is cranked
Must be quick
And quiet

I place the plastic explosives
Next to the bathroom door
I slip out of the room
And leave the building

I walk a few blocks away
And the five minutes have passed
Boom!
The building, and tenant’s, are gone
