Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1
Interesting story but as non-english reader I need to clarify to understand it fully.
if i read well, Hadley is living in a 2 story apartment building made for H class people but it's ajusted to receive K and F class people as well. the landlord (scott's) live in higher apartment and the others in the lower one.
But i didn't understand if rails made K & F class are everywhere (residential area and inside apartment. Can you help me?, Please
Author's Response: Not a problem :) It is a bit hard to explain in the narrative, so I totally understand.
All of the buildings in the mixed residential district were originally built for S class residents (prior to people shrinking). So the apartment is an S class building redesigned to house the Scott's upstairs and a community of about 100 K and F class families downstairs. Eva and Jaz can fit in the building because it is still built to their proportions (doors, hallways, and such).
The mixed residential district is a short walk from the central market for an S class person. The streets are no longer safe for cars, so they were repurposed, train tracks being laid down. The train cars are designed for H class passengers, but an S class person could fit. On the side of each train car are smaller cars, situated closer to the ground. These are built for K and F class use. When the train stops, the smaller cars are positioned in front of each community house. There, smaller rails are designed to help deal with the fact that K and F class residents could not climb the front steps or open the doors. The rail leads straight into the kitchen of the downstairs apartment, going only that short distance. These smaller rails are not available everywhere, just for community houses. The larger rails connect most of the residential districts.
I hope this helps some. Feel free to ask for more clarification :}
