The Seventh Storey

The Elites, supremacists in a post-apocalyptic world, exercise absolute power over citizens of the State. Might Is Right is their mantra and a policy of isolation their weapon against opposition. Dismissed as Librarian to the Archives, where he discovered the ‘treasure horde’ of the Old Language, Tomas is confined to the basement room of a tower block. A life-changing decision to make contact with the other dwellers in the tower constitutes an act of defiance against State laws, punishable by torture and death. He keeps a record of his shocking encounters, investing authority in the written word as witness to the State-sanctioned suffering its citizens endure. The final encounter on the seventh floor will test both his endurance and newly found commitment to humanity.
