In “The Apartment,” a young woman moves to the city, only to find her dreams of a happy life manifest in unexpected ways.

STORY EXCERPT:

     …It was just like in the movie scenes of young people viewing apartments in the city. The tiny space seemed large to us, those floors a marvel. The fireplace could not be used but would add atmosphere. The window looked out on horrors but brought in buckets of cheerful light.
     This is someone else’s dream, I thought.
     “Are you sure?” I said just as scripted. “All this, for this price?”
     It didn’t seem fair. These were someone else’s hopes coming true (and this was a trap, too, a way for the city to keep me close), but still I flushed and stammered as I signed the papers. I mirrored back the real estate lady’s broad, wet, desperate smile.
     Ruth looked on, triumphant.

—The Apartment by CHRISTI NOGLE
