LUXUROTICA
Chapter 1 – Welcome
You wake to the smell of menthol cigarette smoke and cheap cologne. Your back is sore. You’ve been asleep on a marble floor for some time.
You stand.
You squint your eyes at the harsh fluorescent light above and feel a headrush coming on; you stood too quickly.
Pink neon cursive letters frame an elevator to your right.
“Powered by Quotient.”
In front of you stands a desk and seat. You are in the lobby of what appears to be an expensive hotel.
There is no doorman. The elevator opens.
You step inside.
There are no floor numbers here. Instead, you see a keyboard in their place.
You decide to type the first thing that comes to mind. A detail from an ancient memory you haven’t thought about for a long time.
The elevator ascends.
