The escape

He woke up in a cold sweat

It was pitch black

He did not know where he was

Frantically searching his memory

Unable to recall anything of the evening before

He felt slightly groggy

Concluding he had been drugged

He stepped out of bed

Stumbling around the room

Eventually finding a light switch

The blinding light hurt his eyes

After a few moments he could see

Bloodstains all over the wall

Dark red blood on the bed cover

Blood stains on his hands and shirt

He went to the bathroom to clean up

Discovering a lifeless body in the bathtub

A large knife embedded in her chest

He ran to the door but it was locked

The windows were all bolted shut

Shutters outside prevented him looking out

He broke the legs off a chair 

Binding them with strips torn from the bedsheet

Wedging the bundle between the handle and door frame

The bedside table was heavy enough to smash down onto the wedge

The door frame exploded open allowing him to step outside

He came across man in a white coat holding a clipboard and a stop watch

The man looked up and said you set a new record James at 2 minutes 42 seconds

He realized it was all a training exercise for his new job in MI6

The fake corpse walked out of the bathroom and winked at him
