I thought I'd spend this beautifully sunny morning on the roof of my building, reading, writing, and tanning. Seemed like a good idea at the time. About an hour into my time upstairs, I heard the door slam. I didn't think much of it until I decided to come inside and make myself lunch. When I tried to open the door to leave the roof, I realized someone had locked the hatch.I called my next door neighbor, but she wasn't home. It's much too far of a leap to my fire escape. I thought I might have to wait for one of my Astoria friends to get home from work and save the day.
Finally, I saw someone coming into the building down below. I yelled to him and he came upstairs and unlocked the hatch.
I'm not sure what to do about going up to the roof in the future. I've never been locked out of my apartment building and I don't really want to go through that again.
Luckily it was a perfect day to be outside.
