    I found myself walking in the silent corridor of the building. The second floor is too quiet. It is only me and the hushing wind. All classrooms and dormitories are empty; all are messy. I try to walk and walk until I reach the side stairs. I suddenly stopped. I do not know where I am going. Likewise, I do not know where I started. My mind is in blank space; there is nothing to hide, there is nothing to be seen. I have goosebumps because of the place. I felt cold, and it gets more intense as the wind passes through me.
