Ascent
or, the Risen and Fallen on the Seventh Floor
by Kirryn Lia Todd
Everyone's mad here. Or are they?
Elouise lives on the seventh floor of the Hae Plaza, an apartment complex just this side of reputable (but only just). Life is going along as usual until one evening where she wakes up and realises she has no idea what she's been doing for the past twelve months whatsoever.
Things are further complicated when the irritatingly charming demon shows up, along with the young man who looks identical to the demon, and Elouise's next-door-neighbour, a fierce but sad woman who's either a psychopath or a witch, steps in. Then there's the little problem Elouise has when she turns into a song...
