Chapter 2 - Min Headroom②(3)

Humans don't like seeing things that remind them of bad memories. If it doesn't spark joy, out it goes. I blink my eyes and return to dismal reality. In it there is nothing around the mantle at all. No TV or trophies, let alone family photos. The whole room is a dark box with those large bay windows blocked by metal shutters to keep the radiation out. All of the furniture in the room is grey, devoid of any colours, all made of plastic and felt. When the Parks decide to change it up, they'll simply return the set to the store who will sell it on, customized however the next family would like it to appear. When they're done living here they'll take the few physical items they have and leave it for the next occupant. If they've left any sign of their time here, it will only end up as a repair fee on their final rent payment.
