By Sam Burns. A twisted fable about first world problems and middle-class guilt.

Unable to overcome her middle-class guilt, one woman is forced to take drastic action. A twisted modern fable by Sam Burns.

Ms Sherman is living a life of luxury. She's landed her dream job. Has a beautiful apartment, equipped with her very own maid. She wants for nothing. So why does she feel so terrible? A search for her tower block's missing floor 13 takes Ms Sherman on a strange and sinister journey that might just save her from a life wracked by guilt. But how much is Ms Sherman really prepared to pay to feel better about herself?
