TRAPPED!

I hadn't even noticed it until now, but for as long as I can remember, the wall has always been on the right side of my bed. Growing up in my parents' house, in my current apartment, and in the four dorm rooms and one apartment in between, it's always been there when I look to the right, with the wide openness of the surrounding room to my left.

Of course I hadn't thought about any of that before I was a guest in someone else's apartment this past Friday night and was put in the bottom bunk of a bunk bed, with the wall to my left. I awoke at 3:00 AM, turned slightly to my left, and noticed a wall where there shouldn't be one!

What the !?
Now how in the world am I supposed to get out?
And why would they put up a wall in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping?

Hey, I never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed, especially at 3 AM. Fortunately, I shifted to my right side and realized my mistake before I started tunneling my way through the wall. They probably wouldn't have appreciated that so much.
