Shouldn't that be "Walking down the staircase
, drenched in sweat, my bag felt heavy."
Otherwise the staircase is drenched in sweat.
I hate it when people pluralize everything with an apostrophe. Even a simple word such as "ball" becomes "ball's"!
And I've made a resolution. Whenever I'm not writing something that will be marked for perfect grammar, I'm using the British style of quotes, where punctuation goes outside the quote mark. Makes much more sense.
