How dull! Entertainment isn't a wall to read. Where are the performers and pyrotechnics? No one will pay attention to this.

He nods. The roundabout is quiet, almost eerily so in the rain. The sodden tickets remain true to their duty against the storm -- except for a few that lie face down below, honourably drowned in a puddle...
He nods. The roundabout is quiet, almost eerily so in the snow. The tickets remain true to their duty, like a crowd of commuters huddled for warmth -- except for a few that have come unstuck, now assigned to raking the drifts below...

- "And was it all worth it?"
- "Never mind. Another question -- was it all worth it?"
- "But was it all worth it? Everything that came before -- Cindy, the stocks, even the street lamp."
- "But was it all worth it? Everything that came before -- Cindy, the stocks, the thing with Idiot Doom Spiral..."
