Quarantine Day 4: Simplicity Descending Life Line


I found the simplicity descending life line beneath my desk. It was next to a hook bolted to the floor. The instructions are simple.

1. Hang the hook to the supporter ring.
2. Fasten the belt around your chest.
3. Throw the rope-rill out of the window.
4. Descending safely with facing to the wall.


The rest of it is written in Korean. From this much, I gather it's a sort of fire escape. Unfortunately, neither I nor my simplicity descending life line will fit through this tiny hotel window.

The window has a much larger upper panel that doesn't open. The glass is pretty thick but I think I might be able to smash through it with the chair if I got a running start. I could throw a few towels over the glass shards so they don't cut my simplicity descending life line.

I quietly pray for a fire.

  1. Hi WIlliam, Oliver passed me this link, I look forward to seeing more dispatches. Aside from watching every episode of The Changing of the Door Sheet, how are you passing your time?

    I'd say "Stay well" but it kind of looks like you have no choice in the matter :-D -Dave from Paris

    1. I've started using my simplicity descending life line to do single arm rows. I'm also listening to a k-pop artist named G-Dragon and watching a Korean drama called Crash Landing on You about a South Korean businesswoman and heir who gets caught in a tornado while paragliding, is thrown over the 38th parallel, and meets a handsome North Korean army captain.
