Pink Perplexity

take a quick break…

An expansive hospital complex of intertwining hallways lit with cheap fluorescent lights, creating a loud hum-buzz. The walls are vaguely pink in color, with completely opaque windows lining the walls; the floor is a spotless white tile and smells of some kind of cleaning agent.

Illogically-connected halls cause confusion with their tendency to overlap; turns do not always lead in the right direction, such as a right turn leading left. Shorter hallways may cover longer distances than they appear to, with a similar effect applying vice-versa.

The layout may change when line-of-sight is lost with the surroundings, such as when stepping into darkness, shifting from an environment once known into something entirely different.

A row of chairs rests in an indent in the wall in one of the countless reception areas. Doors line the long halls at uneven intervals, most being locked — the ones that aren’t lead to the same, off-pink nightmare.

Exit signs are of no assistance and only further complicate navigation, sending those trapped further into disarray through the non-Euclidean complex.
