Ancient Story Fragment

This one was originally written for tinbender, though I doubt he remembers why.

On the edge of the Eternal Carnival sat a boy in a clean, modular hotel room, watching the shining creatures at play in the poisonous land outside.

I would like to hear more of this, though it sounds dark.

While I could probably parallel a few situations, I can't think of one that this would specifically apply to, so I guess the answer is that no, I don't remember why, unless I'm trying to read much more into it and it came from me going on about a website that I had found that memorialized Astroworld.

I do agree with Feech, though, I would like to hear more if you're so inclined to continue.

Thanks! And, good to hear from you!

Huh, I thought I had commented on this when I first read it

Ah, yes, that's a Ray Bradbury piece. Dude is one of the greats.

I think it was spinning toward a somewhat tragic ending, but I don't have the heart to do anything too grim.
