The 28th Floor (And I'm Jumping)

"Blow the candles. Eat the failure. Survive another day."

In the 28th floor, the view from the top isn't filled with success, neither clarity. Rather, it's just a long way down. In the 28th floor, few doesn't feel like celebrating, for what's joy in time of a mourning blow? There were no presents inside the room, only the heavy realization that going up was a trap no one warned them about.
