“It’s like… it’s this folly in the middle of nowhere, right? And everything in it is fake – plants, store fronts,” he gestured to where they were sitting, “picnic tables. Everything is this weird copy of something else, like — you know what simulacrums are?”

The dead mall au the world absolutely did not need and I wrote anyway.

Contains existential ennui and jacuzzi bathtubs of dubious cleanliness.
