Interesting. You’ve set this up with myriad possibilities. I’m reminded of the amusement park in Grand Theft Auto IV that you can’t get into. Did that inspire you at all, or am I completely off base?
In any case, nice little story here. Well written.

it was actually inspired by a recent trip to the place mentioned in the story.

i am really not sure where this one wants to go.

Ah ok. Their site doesn’t have too many pictures of the place, but I had envisioned something a little more dilapidated than that. I guess that’s what “inspired by” means.
