Sometimes, when you see some stairs, the stairs stare back at you.
You stare into the void, the stair void, and the void stares at you, then stares at the stairs, then looks back at you.
And the void raises its eyebrows and does a short of concerned shrug over to the stairs, like, “Can you believe this?”
You, in wide-eyed acknowledgement, nod, and then shake your head, as if to silently communicate to the void “I know right? These stairs are ridiculous.”
