Hey, where do those stairs go? They go up.
These are stairs leading into the newly remodeled basement of Aquinas, where the new MFA program is held. Respected writers come here every so often, former Poet Laureate Louise Gluck for example. Little did she know, but on the other side of the industrial door was a cavern, or "dungeon," with leaky walls as gateways for cockroaches. Sometimes it smells like a terribly neglected, decaying, wet, moldy basement of death just outside the door of Aquinas. This is why.
