Otters

“Look man, I told you this place is deserted.”
“No way, man.  I can see the lamps—that’s a security trailer around the corner.”
“But he can’t see us.  Just slip between this chain-link fence and the wall of the building here, he won’t be a concern.  He keeps kids out.  Once we’re in he won’t even be a concern.”
“Alright, you go first.”
“How cool is this?  Through this gate here, under the arch and into the labyrinth proper….”
“Kinda dark and creepy.  Wait, man, I have a lamp on my keychain.”
“Right on, right on.  I guess this is where the trucks used to park.  This way, man, through this door.  Cool, man, look at all the rubble in this hallway.”
“Scorch marks in all of these rooms.  They’re so empty.  Do you think they were cleared out after the fire?”
“I’m guessing they were only cleared out before the new construction.  Floor number two?”
“Should we take the stairs?”
“Well, I doubt the elevator is up to code.”
“I’m going up.”
“Awesome, man.  How worth the risk.”
“Hey check it out, a fire-pole.”
“Alright, we need to burn one down by the fire-pole.”
“Is that so ironic as to be doubly ironic?  Fire it up.”
“Watch out, there’s no floor.  Dude, check it out.  You can see right down to the basement.”
“That fall would break your leg for sure.”
“Hey, get off of me, fuck you, man.  I’ll box the shit out of you.”
“Alright let’s head up, there’s only a few more empty rooms on this floor.”
“Right on.  Whoa, Holy shit.  Check it out.  Alright and triple damn.  You see, you see?  You see the moon through the ceiling.”
“Triple damn, that vast, vast moon.”
“Man how worth it was this.  Exploring a burned down fire station.”
“In pursuit of double irony.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“Hey man, we gotta leave our Tecate cans on the window, so in the morning, the construction crew will be like, What?  I wish I had a Tecate.”
“Hehheh, Where are we gonna go after this, the park?”
“Yeah sure, I stashed the rest of the beer there.  I hope no homeless dude found it.”
