Variation of the story

But off to the side, 180 degrees from the original entrances to the top, you can make out another way up which is a glass staircase that makes a sharp 90 degree turn around halfway up. And at the top a door that you cannot see beyond, but there is a clock which appears that is a timer that appears to have less than :15 seconds left. Waking up just before reaching the top of the staircase, just before I can make out what’s written on the door. Before the top, at approximately half way up, I’m greeted by various breeds of smaller dogs. Most of them are very friendly, but this is also including a male Yorkie that acts like he wants to bark, even after smelling my hand and wagging its tail. I remember the feeling of his cold, dry nose touching my hand and the ticklish sensation that is felt when a dog sniffs your hand. After becoming within arms reach of the door at the top of the stairs, nearly able to make out what’s printed on the sign.. I wake up.
