Patterns in the Static

Floor 40 Apartment C1 — not quite the vertical halfway of a residential high-rise in the vastly overpopulated Central City. There are dozens of buildings just like it at the heart of town. You would be hard-pressed to find anything unique or special about these apartments. They are dwarfed by the surrounding skyscrapers and even from the rooftops, the Great Ocean was completely out of view. From the outside these buildings were nothing more than a jumble of glass and steel littered with cluttered balconies, crooked blinds and improperly fastened air conditioning units.
