At the edge of town is an old apartment complex. Nobody knows how old it is, other than it was there when the town was founded. It never is torn down, as if some unknown force is protecting it from harm. Many owners and landlords have come and gone, renovating and repairing it so that it is good as new. What people don’t ever know, ever notice, or ever find out is that the tenants who live there are changed. Some changes are subtle. Some changes are significant. Some changes are just about that tenant. Some changes also affect the people the tenant interacts with. Sometimes the entire world changes around the tenant without the rest of the world noticing. Sometimes the tenant notices the changes happening to them. Other times, they don’t. Some changes are permanent while others are temporary. Some are instantaneous, and others take a while to happen. While the changes can be just about anything, there are always four rules that occur with the changes:
1) The change is unavoidable from the second someone enters their apartment for the first time as a new tenant.
2) The rest of the world does not notice when the tenant undergoes changes.
3) The apartments cannot cancel each other out. If a tenant moves from apartment to another, they experience another change that is in addition to their previous change.
4) Anyone who leaves the apartment complex is unable to tell anyone else about what happens inside the apartment complex. If they try to tell someone, a change happens to both the speaker and listener in the conversation as punishment.
The apartment complex has just been purchased by a new landlord who has no idea about any of this. He has just recently approved a new lease for one of the apartments. Who is it for?
