    50/50

    Todd cursed himself. He inched out further. The frame and glass creaked. He froze. He peered down, trying to make out the room below. It definitely wasn’t Lacey’s bedroom. She had told him the skylight on the left. Only now did he realise he didn’t know if that was left as he faced the house,…
