The world as I sleep

This is probably one of the most magical rooftops I've been on in a long time. Also the closest I've come to seriously injuring myself.

 

While wandering around on the building I found an opening leading from the roof into a three foot high crawlspace. I decided that it would be a good idea to go in and “check it out”.

 

Being a good boyfriend, I listened to Roma and carefully lowered myself down into the opening making sure both my arms were supporting most of my weight. In I went, my arms above me still holding onto the edge of the hole.

-Wow! Guys, you have to come and look at this, I think that there’s a way in to...

My foot suddenly felt something give way. I froze and thought in close succession:

-Ok. I can’t hear anything hitting the ground.

-Maybe it’s like, an overlapping floor that gave way and there is another one 3 inches beneath.

… five seconds go by.

Splash.

-…Splash?!!

-Water??!! How high...

Using the arms that thankfully still held onto the edge of the opening, I launched myself out of the hole and gratefully collapsed back onto the safe, safe roof. Our lord’s name was mentioned a few time.

 

Roma and Sasha, confused at the sight of a two hundred pound man displaying the agility of a Cirque du Soleil performer, and I, in shock, peered down into a leg sized hole and saw what seemed to be a dark pool of water, three entire floors down, reflecting the light emanating from our flashlights back at us.

 

 

We were at the base of a tall smoke stack - I almost fell into its boiler.
