Doorframe

Through the door was the next phase.

Stepping through wouldn't be too difficult, just embrace what the world had in store, trust in the process, all that stuff.

But staying here, that also wouldn't be too difficult. Slightly harder than stepping through, sure, the world would have a strong opinion about this, but it had been done by plenty before, and would be done by plenty again.

But that's not what he wanted. But he didn't want what lay beyond the door, either.

But that only left jumping out the window.

And taking the trip down several hundred feet, terminally.
