The Yellow Stairs Description

The paint is chipped and worn. Bright and bold from a distance but up close, visibly defined by the cracks and stains that overwhelm each step. Regardless, the stairs still remain. A symbol for success, these stairs, in the center o the school are tarnished and worn. The yellow paint, once vibrant and bright is not turning to white. Each step bears a distinctly blemished surface. The cold, bland concrete emerges in patches and incites a feeling comparable to seeing an old, wounded veteran. The only reminder that the stairs are not solitary and abandoned are the bits of food scattering the steps that are left from the students.
