i approached the departure terminal of the las vegas airport. i descended down a set of stairs just outside the entryway. proceeding through the doors at the bottom of the stairs, i entered into a room, which i crossed to another set of doors that led down another set of stairs. this time, the stairs simply spiraled, over and over again, door after door. i lost count of how many doors i had gone through. and since the doors sometimes led straight down or straight across, i had no idea where i was underneath the airport, underneath las vegas. i just kept going and going and going, telling myself that i would be fine the deeper i went. i remember thinking to myself, do i have enough water to drink if i get lost down here? and then i looked at my hands and there was nothing in them, but i still said to myself that i would be fine. but really, i was terrified that i would die in this underground maze. so i made myself wake up.
