Garage 1

Garage 1 is the beginning of a long and strange series. This one creepier than most. I don’t know if it’s the tail lights or the impossible turn. It just bothers me.

The tightness of the space and engine running conjures up visions of suicide. Maybe it’s just me projecting. That is all I ever seem to do, project my darkness on others.

Let me keep this in perspective. Hell, it’s someone in New York City that has a parking space. Kudos to them even if it does look like the perfect space to kill yourself.

So get ready for more of these haunted and unpopulated spaces in a city teeming with people. This is one of the few that actually has an inhabitant. Even if the resident has ominous red lights. Ready to back out onto the street and crush pedestrians.

See, even without the suicide reference my mind goes to a really dark space. It’s either suicide or Christine in here. Even the funny bits are laced with extremely dark cruelty.

I really shouldn’t drink so much caffeine late at night. It makes me type crazy. Then again it could be the DayQuil talking.
