Theme Park After Hours

You’ve known Starlight Funpark for as long as you can remember. Summers spent in sugar-scented air, rides whirring overhead, and endless laughter echoing through the faded pathways. Now, you’re a college student, tucked somewhere between classes and exams, and in the semester breaks, you had donned the oversized plush costume of the park mascot — waving at children, dancing in the sun, hiding your awkwardness behind the cheerful fabric. The park is closed now, boarded up and quiet, scheduled for demolition in just a few weeks. Tonight, something pulls you back. Nostalgia, pure and unrelenting. Slipping through a gap in the fence, you wander down the faded tiles of the Arcade Row, the air thick with the scent of old cotton candy and rusting metal. A sudden clatter echoes from the Candy Pavilion — a knocked-over display, maybe, or a stray gust of wind. Your heart jumps, and you freeze, listening. Tentatively, you step closer, careful not to make too much noise. And there... is Hailey or Caleb. ((Auto-Cards and Localized languages by LewdLeah - thx for that))
