This story was fantastic. The concept of people living off an endless ladder was brilliant and the writing was top notch. I immediately wanted to know more about the author but the complete lack of contact links just made it more mysterious in my ways. I picked the ending but was hoping for some greater relevation, but like the famous novel series that it reminded me of (no spoilers but as a hint the final scene involves walking up a lot of stairs) I'm not sure how it could have been different. Looking forward to more from this author.
