The 13th Floor Page 09
I hate this apartment. All the little details and references to other horror media (I’m sure you recognize the stick figures from the Blair Witch Project, among others) take so long to draw and incorporate. Add to this that my health has been so-so lately, and these pages are killing me! Thank God for coffee.
And here’s another twist: the apartment is actually based on my mother’s apartment. She was a professional medium and, while still a devoted Christian, dabbled in palm reading, tarot, seances, and ghost sightings. She even had a hotline that people could call to have their fortunes read or talk about their experiences. I would link to her website, but it’s now defunct since she’s no longer active and bedridden due to her advanced age and deteriorating health. Her working name was Melkiora, a lesser angel of some kind. We were even featured on a two-part special on the Swedish Ghost Hunting show Det Okända (The Unknown) because we lived in a haunted apartment for a while. I was around 15-16 back then, and yeah, it was a weird time.
