Stone slide

I'm thinking about the speaker who referred to a building with a long slide in it, put there to encourage a playful, creative environment. I'm surprised to remember that our building has a slide, and I go to look for it. The floors are all empty and it's very quiet as I make my way up the stairs. I find the entrance to the top of the slide and it's not a shiny metal tube, like the one the speaker showed, it looks like smooth, pale stone with very large sculptural curves. It goes right through the centre of the building. I slide down it and find that I can easily control my speed by making very slight movements.
