Why these floors —

E6 · E12 · E3 · E7 · E9 · E10 · E11

E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E6, organisms; the pressure it names: wildfire deaths. Its words also reach E12 states, E3 chemistry, E7 ecosystems, E9 cultures, E10 institutions and E11 organizations.

Here it is a dynamic between organisms, states and chemistry: killed at least 3,500 people (E6 organisms), with protests and political fallout (E12 states), and smoke (E3 chemistry).
