The random word of today is «climb» — a setup

After committing his horrible crime, Gregory rushed to the wash house, hoping to erase all traces of his crime.

Arriving there, panting, only to discover that it had closed earlier than expected.

Frustrated but determined, he climbed through a window left ajar, his bag of bloody clothes in his hand.

Inside, the machines were silent, the air thick with detergent.

As he hurried to load a machine, a flashlight came on, revealing the stern face of a policeman.

Did you think you’d get away with this?” he asked, his gaze piercing.

Trapped, Gregory understood that his escape had just ended.
