Ramp of Hope
When we entered the gymnasium at 10:30 p.m., we found things had already settled down for the night. We were instructed by an older woman to pull an air mattress from a lofty stack hidden in a far corner of the room. Burdened with our bed for the next week, we carefully maneuvered our way through seemingly lifeless bodies spread across the floor like small fortresses. Our only guidance was the occasional snore that erupted from a sleeping bag here and there. We pushed through the shadows, attempting to find an empty spot on the floor where we, too, could build our own little fortress. We tripped over suitcases and blow dryers at every step. Eventually, we found a space, dropped our bags, and took a deep breath while our eyes adjusted to the darkness.
