Playground Forever

Texture: Coated clear

Scene: Silicone, plastic, cotton candy

The plastic slides stretch into the darkness, slick with a silence that feels like it's watching you. The air is thick with the scent of warm, static charged plastic and stale ozone. You can hear the muffled echoes of laughter from a birthday party that ended decades ago, but the ball pit is empty, swallowing the sound of your own footsteps. The fluorescent lights hum a low, dizzying tune as you realize every tunnel leads back to the same padded corner. Don't try to find the exit. You're already home.
