Scene: An amusement park. Not your average grimy park overflowing with old cigarette butts and smelling faintly of motor oil and fried food. No, this park is pristine. Birds are singing and the grass is barely even trampled by the flocks of happy people running from rides to booths and back. Fuck realism right? This is a fantasy.
We walk hand in hand down rows of vendors and rigged "fair" games (ironic name no?). As we mosey, various attendants heckle us, trying to push us into throwing ludicrously weighted objects at other objects in the hopes of winning a comically large plush killer whale of something that would barely fit through the door of any reasonable home, let alone a car.
We continue on, resolute in our mission. Nothing will be getting in our way (except for that big clown making balloon animals and balloon hats, but we wanted a few of those anyway). As evening settles, the glow of incandescent bulbs washes everyone in a patina of days gone by, clashing spectacularly with the LEDs of phones and headlights. Around us people shout and laugh, a mighty river of bodies. We, the resolute salmon intent on our spawning grounds, continue against this current of humanity. As the seas part, I give you a quick kiss and you give my right ass cheek a gentle squeeze. It would almost be romantic if we weren't wearing gigantic ballon hats.
Thusly ensconced in our latex headgear, we venture on. There is one goal on both of our minds: the Gravitron. You know the one-It's a big ring that spins around before the floor drops out and you are held against the wall by pure centripetal acceleration. Sometimes it will tilt, throwing you into a barrel roll. At its apex you feel weightless for a moment, before succumbing to nature's laws, to come crashing down, feeling three or four times your normal weight at the bottom. Talk about an exercise in trusting the laws of physics.
