Split, Second

To escape, the only option I had was to go through the air purification system and hope to steal a spacecraft outside the base. The weeks I spent cleaning in the monitoring room allowed me to study the system, and I worked out the pattern.


It would take split second timing, but I was sure I could do it.


I counted the noises, and on the third clank, I started crawling.


I got halfway and was stunned to find a skeleton in the enclave I was supposed to count to five in.


It distracted me for a second too long.
