Time Traveller
You silently leave the room, and keep the shadows of the corridor. Unexpectedly though, you walk into a night guard. He glares at you.
"What are you doing out at this time? Go back where you came from at once."
The irony of the fact that you are trying to do just that does not escape you.
"I am sorry," you say, "I was simply trying to find the toilet"
"The what? Your language is beyond me."
"The latrine."
"There is one nearby here, at the end of the corridor that you just walked along. Turn around, and go that way."
You have no choice but to do what he says, and you decide that escaping tonight is not such a good idea after all and to leave it until morning.
