Abney Park's the Wrath of Fate
“On one side of the road was a massive home and garden store. Wealthy people (or their contractors and gardeners) drive from all over the state to buy the lumber stacked outside, the swimming pools, garden statues that looked as if they were from an Italian villa, or even a Victorian-style greenhouse with real leaded-glass and wrought-iron framework.On the other side of the road was a vast field of four hundred eighteen rotting cars, thirtyfour abandoned boats, six grounded airplanes and one lon...g dead submarine, the latter of which was mounted on a huge sign over the front gate, which read “Dave’s Wrecking – used parts for anything”.At 1:18 a.m., nobody saw our sails on the horizon. At 1:26 a.m. nobody heard our propellers overhead. At 1:43 a.m. nobody saw the rope with a massive hook, and two gloved and be-goggled men being lowered from the ship. One of those two men was me, the other was Daniel.They reeled us right into the heart of the rusting graveyard.
