Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, July/August 2018, p. 46
The narrator of Sigrid Nunez's one-page story piques readers' curiosity about the guests staying in rooms above, below, and to either side of them at hotels. Though almost every paragraph recounts an experience at a different hotel, the story as a whole works to unsettling effect, culminating with the narrator seeing a murder victim wheeled past her.
Food for thought if you're on or planning a vacation, this one's good for a chill.
