Chapter 158
Upon passing through the amusement park’s entrance, a wide pathway emerged before them.
Lining either side were stores that had likely once sold souvenirs and memorabilia.
Originally vibrant with coats of bright pink and green paint, yet now faded into a dull gray hue – further marred by various unsightly graffiti scrawled across their surfaces, rendering the entire scene rather grotesque in appearance.
“Who exactly would deface places like this?”
Arian posed that rhetorical question as she observed the crude messages and profanities defacing the store pillars.
It was a sentiment Aiden shared regarding her sense of bewilderment.
This amusement park was an unsecured area, after all.
Furthermore, engaging in such graffiti would have required access to spray paint – a commodity not only difficult to obtain but potentially quite useful if properly utilized. To waste such resources solely for the purpose of senseless vandalism was an incomprehensible notion to Aiden.
Proceeding further, they emerged into a vast central plaza.
At its core stood the dilapidated remnants of a merry-go-round, similarly reduced to an unsightly wreck.
The vividly colored horses had been torn away, now scattered haphazardly across the ground.
Even those still attached seemed gruesomely mutilated, with severed heads dangling lifelessly from their frames.
