M and I had gone to this big mall to meet up after work. We got food then headed back to the train station to get back home. A few of the subways were delayed and it was getting late, so we only had a few options left. We finally chose on one that was leaving in 8 minutes and headed to the departure hall to catch the train. Once we ended the hall, we realized we may be in trouble: The hall was vast, carried tracks going in either direction, but for some absurd reason you had to go up several flights of winding spiral steps before a platform connecting to the other track, the track we needed to get to to catch our train. We looked at each other and a guy nearby chuckled and said: “you better start running.” So we hauled ass up these stairs, some of which only has handles on one side, the other side completely naked and exposed to the ground below, others not even handles but glass, meaning any false steps could lead to a slip and fall. We puffed and puffed and M was in front of me, when I caught up to her and she was out of breath and trying to catch it. I told her “come on, we’re almost there!” and ran the last set of steps before going over a bridge and down to the other side with time to spare.
