''The Impossible Stairwell'' is a ScienceFiction novella by Tropers/SDouglasJohnson. On the first day back at school after [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHolidays Golden Week]], [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Etsugoya Jun'ichi]] notices a few odd events, like a note in his shoe locker that predicts a series of cards drawn from a deck, and a stairwell on the floor plans to his high school that should not be there. By going up and down the stairwell, he finds himself jumping forward and backward through time. Together with his classmate Tsubakihara Amaya, he tries to learn how the stairwell works, and uses it to make sure that the odd events happen as they did.
