Garett Alternate Ending
Garett moved quietly towards the bedside table, careful that his footfall didn’t wake the sleeping figure. When the candle was within his reach, he licked his fingers before pinching around the wick and effectively killing the flame.
Too much light. Let’s make it a little more cozy in here. He thought to himself as he pocketed the gold-plated lighter on the table. He watched the man sleep for a bit, before moving further into the room, looking through drawers and cupboards, pocketing whatever he thought could fetch some coin on the black market as he went.
By the time he reached the window he planned to use to exit the building, he calculated he had about 100 coins worth, if he could find the right merchant.
Placing both hands on the windowsill, he slowly lifted himself up and slid out first one, then the other

Anyone who thought to look up would easily spot his dark figure against the sun so getting quickly across was preferable.
The window across the beam was closed. Garett pulled out his crowbar. It was shorter than the ones the workers used, for easier handling. While this lessened it’s effect, Garret never felt it, as he wasn’t in the business of opening anything that required more power than it could be done quietly.
After slipping the flat end of the short tool under the window, he began prying it open as silently as possible. It was a slow process, that needed finesse. Which is why Garett wriggled it around in search for the closing mechanism until he finally got the window open. Strapping the crowbar to his side so it wouldn’t get in the way, he silently slipped inside the new building, closing the window after him. It wouldn’t do that the owner came to investigate what was causing the draught and finding the window open. Or well, it wouldn’t really matter, as Garett by then would be long gone. Maybe it was a residue of some kind of manners he once

    What am I doing? Grigs thought as he made his way through the cold and gloomy castle. There had been a fog for the past three days that had sunk its way into the ancient stones and had permeated the hallways. Grigs walked through the halls on his way to what he believed was going to be his death. His heart was racing and despite the cold, found that his hands were sticky with sweat, making the torch he was holding slippery. Normally a guard would be leading him down this deep into the castle proper, but a gold piece had made the guard decide that Grigs was an excellent navigator and could do the journey on his own.…

    An open window in literature is a sign of transformation or change (www.go.view.usg.edu). From the window, Louise sees a blue sky, fluffy clouds, and treetops. She hears people and birds singing and smells a coming rainstorm. Everything she experiences through her senses suggests joy and spring-new life. When she ponders the sky, is when she feels the first hints of happiness. When it says in the story, “But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.”(Chopin) The open window provides a clear, bright view into the distance and Louise’s own bright future, which would now be uninterrupted by the demands of her husband. As it said in the story, “There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself.”(Chopin) Therefore, it was not surprising that when Louise turned from the window and the view, she quickly loses her freedom as well.…
