Lost in a lost amusement park in the woods. Built by a local farmer who had a spare acre and a favorite hammer with a chipped handle that helped to make the sign above, a little nod of fun to the departing customer. Two feral children live there under the thinning trees. Saggy-bellied old men try to get sun, but the snarling runs them away. In the distance, windows show people watching people eat. Sometimes you hear laughter.
