Pictures of an abandoned amusement park.
Evocative is the right word, Hec. You can hear the echoes of long-ago laughter and see ghosts of shiny, happy people. And now it's just decayed and dead. So sad.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Wow, shrift, I'm so sorry.

Is it sad to you? A little melacholy for me, but in a good way. I love abandoned places. I love timeworn things. There was a whole huge photo book of abandoned mansions throughout the south that was so fantastic.
I don't feel the loss so much as the time transport sensation. Like I'm the ghost going back in time.

I'm sorry about your cousin, shrift. I hope your dad continues to be ok.

If I only had a brain...
I'm sorry about the evil week, Shrift, and about your cousin.

I see this, but then I tend to bring the people into the picture, too. Just like the park used to be a happy place but is now decayed, the people who went there were happy then, but are now decayed, too. It starts off as melancholy but then just gets downright maudlin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, shrift, that's terrible. Much strength to you and all involved. And a quick recovery for your father, too.

I found the pictures of the abandoned amusement park very sad.
