Chapter 6: Welcome to the Hotel California of EDEN CAN WAIT has been posted online.

I stepped out of the car and found myself in a large parking garage. It looked pretty much like any other parking garage I had been to. The only noticeable difference was the amount of colored pipes that swirled at the ceiling like countless snakes.
“This way,” said the driver.
He had already extracted my belongings from the trunk and was pointing to the elevator on the left.
While we walked toward the elevator I noticed a few other cars with tinted windows: a couple of Nissans like the one we had arrived in and a large SUV. The garage was half-empty, but there were still quite a few cars, considering the time of the day. I managed to take a quick peek at my phone and found, almost with gloomy satisfaction that it was as useless as it had been in the car.
Getting in and out of the elevator required scanning the driver’s cardkey. I was hardly impressed—by now I was expecting retina scanners and full-body x-ray machines.
We ended up on the second floor, which immediately reminded me of checking into a cheap but really well-maintained hotel. I was ushered down a very neat brightly lit hallway with numbered cream doors on both sides.
“Your room,” said the driver, opening the door with number 225 on it.
“Is this where I’ll be staying the entire time?” I asked, stepping in.
He nodded.
“It isn’t a palace, but there’s plenty of room.”
The room—or rather what seemed to be a one bedroom apartment, since there was no bed in sight—was indeed spacious. A dining table, a refrigerator, a microwave, a desk with a flat monitor and even a decent size flat TV on the wall. Again, everything—except the monitor on the desk—reminded me of a clean and tidy though not luxurious, hotel. At the same time something about the room didn’t seem quite right. I couldn’t say precisely what it was though—I only had a vague nagging feeling that something was amiss.
