"Five Sto­ries" fol­lows a dream in which two broth­ers col­lect ar­ti­facts rep­re­sent­ing their mem­o­ries as they tra­verse the labyrinthine floors of a sur­re­al five-​sto­ry house. Fire rips through the house, in­cin­er­at­ing the mem­o­ries the boys were un­able to save as they at­tempt to es­cape through the at­tic win­dow, five sto­ries above the ground.

Adapt­ed from the zine Pressed Be­tween the Pages by Alan Lastufka.
