Glass Wings Arcade
At first you see everything through a white mist as you appear at
the entrance to the Glass Wings Arcade. In a few moments amorphous
shapes resolve themselves into brightly coloured tents, wooden stands
and carts bedizened with sweet smelling flowers. They line a road
meandering like a loose silver thread through the valley. You hear the
musical banter of merchants calling out the wonders of their wares.
The first thing to catch your eye is a tall building with a brightly
illumiated marquee flashing away gaily. This is clearly an entertainment
palace that celebrates the world of moving pictures.
A wild and triumphant cacophany blares onto the streets from this
brightly coloured shop. Inside and out the shop is painted in
dizzying psychedelia. Your curiosity gets the better of you as you
wonder what strange and hip offerings are likely to be offered inside.
From under a bright red awning the scents of caramel and hot melted
cheese mix with those of freshly popped popcorn. Your mouth waters.
The owner cheerfully waves to you and beckons you to examine his goods.
You have come to the storefront of Myers Gourmet Popcorn.
