clueless

At 22 I visited Vancouver BC and was staying in a hotel downtown.  I awoke one sunny morning and opened the curtains to look out upon the city. I stood at the window and admired the view. The sun shone in on me as I sat back on the bed gazing out the window.

Across the street there was a multi-story office building. I noticed there was a lot of commotion at the windows, mostly business men looking at the building I was in. I thought whatever they’re looking at must be unusual; maybe there was a fire?… I got up to look outside but my perspective was limited.

I sat back on the bed enjoying the sun. I looked back at the business men, by now there was quite a group gathered. As I was rising up again to take a closer look, it dawned on me they were looking at my floor. No wait, they were looking at me.

In the nanosecond it took to get a clue, my primal instincts had kicked in and I was now flat on the floor. Yes, I was naked.

I crawled on my belly to the bathroom, threw on a robe then closed the blinds.
