Everything Harrowhark hates is here: there is nothing remotely fun in being trapped in a fast-moving machine, nothing appealing about people screaming at her to buy sugary pastries shaped like skulls. The smell of the place alone, saccharine and vaguely chemical, makes her ill. Everyone wears hideous, bright clothes and brighter, cloying smiles.
A jostle of the shoulder pushes her forward from where she stands, in a massive throng of people waiting for their turn in what’s labeled as the Lyctoral Loop. It is a long, spiraling track, with little, black carts that zoom along it, two to a cart. The line for this ride is long, stretching far behind Harrowhark to the point where she can’t see where the line ends. The line is bordered by deep red velvet rope, and flashing signs that read Ride the Lyctoral Loop! And A Ride So Good You’ll Never Want To Get Off!
OR, Yet another snapshot of an alternate universe conjured by Harrowhark Nonagesimus.
