A Dimly lit Carnival Ride

By AshtrayDirt

one after another...
people enter
making sure they have enough change to frantically shove in the machine
tiny black rooms just big enough to sit and ejaculate in
the floors remind me of a sticky carnival
only their faces wear opposite expressions
...paranoia....lust....emptiness

p e o p le
enter
one
after
another

you have the choice of watching the result of choice recorded or live with a plastic partition in between you and the one who made a choice for their future

people enter
red faced, whisky stinking
one
after
another

watch, cum, leave.

(all the while never using the tissues provided on the wall)
in progress....

    Brilliant. That last line ends things perfectly like a sad punch line but at the same time I'm intrigued to know how this would have panned out if added to, or maybe that you haven't is entirely the point.
