THE STORY OF A STRANGER GUY
I was invited to visit a company, and when I stepped inside the building, I saw a layer on top of each other front me, I stepped forward and looked carefully, trying to figure out what is that thing, the first layer has that organic shape, and it was rotating, but the following layer has a circular shape and it was stable, there were people standing beside me, and they were staring in the last layer when it comes close to them, they jumped on it, I was surprised, then they moved up to the stable layer. I figure out that I am in front of a staircase, I was excited and decided to take off. I realized that I have to concentrate on each step taken; because there were rotating layers and in the stable layer I cannot stay, I have to jump to the following step.​
