Went to the Denver airport and the weird art isn't the weird part

I was there last month and everyone talks about the creepy murals and the blue horse, but that's not what got me. I spent 3 hours watching the baggage system from the viewing area on level 5. The number of bags that go down specific chutes and just vanish is wild. I counted 7 bags in a 15 minute span that went into a conveyor marked for terminal C but never came out the other side where you can see. The official maps don't show any holding areas on that route. It feels like they built way more underground than they publicly admit. Has anyone else actually tracked the bag routes and seen stuff just not add up?

My luggage has a better chance of ending up in Narnia than at baggage claim.

That Narnia line is way too real... I swear airlines have some kind of portal to another dimension down there. Last time I flew, I stood at that carousel for what felt like forever, just watching everyone else get their stuff. The sinking feeling when the belt stops and your bag is nowhere in sight is the worst. It's like your trip starts with this weird, stressful treasure hunt. Really hope your stuff finds its way back to this reality soon.

Honestly, I'm the reason they need those extra tunnels. Last trip, I watched my own suitcase take that mystery chute. It showed up three days later covered in what I swear was glitter and a weird, tiny pinecone. Where was it, a lost luggage rave in a forest? I've made peace with the fact that my bags are just on a better vacation than I am.
