Members only · Floor 7½
For everyone who has been stuck between the seventh and eighth floors and lived to tell it. The people around the Midtown tower, the diaries they keep, the legends of floor seven and a half and the Midtown Ledger’s reports. Run, discreetly, by the people who built the lift.
Latest from the minutes
Meeting No. 13
Under any other business, a member reported that the top man’s office had visitors again last night, who found a way out with four minutes to spare. The top man returned at the sixty-minute mark, found the office empty, sat down at his desk and asked who had left the noodle box.
Legend of the week
Every lift engineer in Midtown
The building has eighteen floors on its plans and nineteen in its lift. In a storm, when the power surges, both the 7 and the 8 light up together, and the doors open somewhere in between. Volts says it is a wiring fault. Gus says he has never seen the plans. The Chair says nothing, and writes it in the minutes.
The Club has been there. Many times. Most of us came back.
