Each footstep echoed as I began to descend the stairs.
I couldn't hear the screaming anymore.
Just a low, deep humming sound, like pipes in the walls.
It was a welcome respite.
It was a welcome respite is such an out-of-place sentence in this story.
Respite feels like it came out of left field.
to hear that word get thrown in with the bloody Ronald McDonald costumes.

The staircase seemed to descend a few floors lower, but I stopped here and slowly peeked through the door.
No clown nurses to be seen.
I stepped through the door and walked into the hallway.
I noticed I couldn't hear any screaming on this floor.
Just the buzz of the fluorescent tube lights above.
Not to derail off of this, but I knew the respite thing reminded me of something.
Do you remember the story about the slips that we called polyamorous hell?
In that story, I think the word crestfallen showed up three times.
