It was the frigid drafts that gave her the notion to take down the mirror. She squeezed through the tiny gap behind the mirror and emerged into a spooky area where she discovered an empty water bottle and a mountain of rubbish bags. Everyone has been perplexed by the extra square footage found thus far, even the building administrators who were unaware of the apartment’s existence until Hartsoe discovered it.
