After a slow start of Lucretia and the Kroons telling the story of a a children's party, where one girlfriend is missing because she has contracted cancer. Loochie learns about The Kroons, once neighbours on the 6th floor in the same appartment building. The Kroons were crackheads and turned to cruelties. Having played with wigs and a cigarette Loochie applies make-up and thinks she's Lucretia. Is she dreaming or is it real, when she climbs the fire escape of her Queens appartment building and crawls into the 6D appartment herself, finding The Kroons alive and kicking. An adventurous shadowland journey starts. Monsters, horror playgrounds and loosing all that you love. This metaphor of the devastating effects of cancer may serve coping with this disease better at younger age, but as an adult this novella doesn't have that much magic.
