This time I stared down the radiator and discovered a hidden panel. Aha! What a happy surprise! My prayers have been answered and I had found the magical red button! So I skip-danced around the room for awhile.
Unfortunately, the panel had been painted over. So first I had to pry it open. I wish I had taken that as a hint, clearly some really wise person had painted it over to prevent someone like me from stumbling across the horrors within.
I wish I had never seen what was down there. It was like all of my nightmares in one small space. First of all I think I've now been exposed to asbestos, second of all I'm pretty sure I've discovered the breeding ground for the worst kind of mutant spiders, and third of all I feel certain I am slowly being suffocated b
y gas.
Sure there was a button down there; and after hopping around and making grossed out noises for awhile, I finally summoned up enough courage to stick my arm in there and turn the knob. Then I waited, thinking there was going to be some horrible spewing of that copper colored murky liquid at the bottom, and my face would become scarred like some Batman villain.
Nothing happened.
It's still damn hot. And now I must go to sleep and find reinforcements in the morning.
