Weston-Green Stairs

Iteration_01: "NJIT Reviews NJIT"

Entering from the first-floor entrance of Weston Hall, one is greeted by a set of neon green stairs. To begin to climb is the obvious step forward. Confidently, one occupies the center of the stairway before looking up and realizing someone is waiting. Glancing to the sides and realizing there’s no space, quickly shuffling to the side and jumping the last few steps to allow them passage. Turning 180 degrees and mounting the next step…a mistake!...stepping back down. Another student carries a broad model past Finally - the third floor - but you decide one more. The Littman library is the best on campus, so 180 degrees (again)...another surprise! “Hey! Yeah, headed to the library right now. Oh, the storefront is a great review space. Ok sounds good! Yep, see you later” Landing: Pause…sunlight streams through the curtain wall window, Newark gleams in the distance. A quick glance up, the library peaks through its window, the fishbowl through its. A quick glance down, the gallery window wall reflects the entrance…a red line in the corner of one’s eye. A quick glance up…the stairs begin to levitate. A tap…oh man… “Um listen maybe another time, a bit busy right now. It’s been 2 years, let it go”. Deep breath in, deep breath out, 5 steps more. The fourth floor, a solid slab. Only 4 floors climbed, yet so many stories to tell.
