This building is so new, and yet there are already spills on the ceiling. How could something so pure, so full of potential, have spills on the ceiling? This baffles me. If the people inside wanted to ruin the beauty and the goodness of this place, they would spill on the floor, the carpet, or even the walls but they would  never spill on the ceiling. How could this happen? We did nothing wrong! These spills on the ceiling are staring me down, daring me to run, to give up. But  I will stand my ground because I know that Someday, these spills on the ceiling will come crashing down. And though it will hurt, there will finally be a way out, through the hole that appeared where the spills on the ceiling had been. And we can run away, where the  spills  can never hurt us again.
