The Tower

I have practically lived in this tower for months at a time. The top 8 floors contain only two suites each, the remaining lower floors, four suites each. The upper floors are very expensive and have magnificent views, especially the ones facing north, toward my camera. There is so much I could write about my time spent here and the people I have come to know as a result. I had my truck broken into here, I was a suspect in the only breech of security they have ever had, I became friends with a retired Provincial Minister of Health, one of my clients shot himself in the head in the car park, I painted every elevator lobby on every floor, I memorized every elevator code to every floor, I met drug lords, porn ring mobsters, a wealthy rancher, my friend Gus who ran this place died while living here, and I observed daily police surveillance for weeks at a time. I met and knew almost everyone in this building at one time. Too many stories to tell. It sounds like a bad place but it was and still is a most desirable place to hang one's hat. The location is great and it does have great security features as well as being the most earthquake proof building in town. With the 9' floor to ceiling glass in every room, it feels like the city is right at your feet. The first few times I worked here, I got queasy every time I got near a window. One gets used to it.
