the top store

we went to the heaven store and man...that place is great! all the stores and markets and basically all business done in Brand New Tunnel is perpetual. nothing closes - not even the golf course*, so obviously lots of travelers end up spending a lot of time wandering around in this particular shop. myself and two meaningless members of my crew whose names i don't care about went in there for two weeks. i don't know what the record is for amount of time spent browsing in the heaven store, but i bet it's a pretty high number of days. nobody knows why they leave. you're just suddenly out in front and the newspaper boy tells you what day it is and you think, should i go back in? it's impossible to remember and everyone always decides not to.


*they are currently in the planning stages of a state of the art new half-indoor/half-outdoor course that is expected to host major professional tournaments. the course's designer, muchmore steverall, showed me some preliminary sketches, which are amazing and were mostly scribbled on cocktail napkins in a casino at this bar called The Promenade Passage while i watched. there will be holes that start underground in the indoor part and end up out in the open air above, or vice-versa (one par seven starts below and ends below but with a terrifying middle section above in a jungle full of wild animals and cannibal savages!) this guy was going to make a lot of money. (he said so)
