You Explore Jessica's Condominium by Candlelight

On the balcony

There are plants everywhere, many of them bearing exotic flowers. Each plant is carefully labeled with names like Cymbidium and Epiphyllum.

Near the rail, a rack of young plants has been knocked over. Terra cotta pot shards crunch underfoot. A rich smelly dirt covers the floor.

In the living room

Everything is neat as a pin. More of the exotic plants adorn the coffee table. On a side table, a fat candle gutters, illuminating an electric clock with hands frozen at 2:03. The front door is wide open. There is no sign of Eric.

In Jessica's bedroom

Everything is neat and clean. A business blouse and skirt, neatly pressed, hang from the closet doorknob. You see jewelry and other things arranged on the dresser.

There's a book face down upon the rumpled bed. Above the bed, the windows are thrown wide open in hopes of a cooling breeze. Outside, the entire city is dark, except for a tall building all lit up in the distance. You recognize that building: Mercy Hospital.

In the kitchen

The kitchen is immaculate. On the refrigerator hangs a pad that says "TO DO TODAY!" across the top. You open up the refrigerator, and see it's completely empty.

Instead of a garbage can, there is a dark chute which sends the garbage down into the bowels of the building. The dishwasher holds only a pie plate and an empty milk glass.

Everything is dead silent except for a soft drip-drip-drip.
