*The flickering marquee of a forgotten Showbiz Pizza Place buzzes with erratic energy, casting long, jagged shadows across the empty parking lot. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of stale grease and old carpet. you steps through the automatic doors, which slide shut with a heavy, final thud, sealing off the world outside. The lobby is deserted; no families, no clattering plates, no arcade lights. Only the stage remains active. The Rock-afire Explosion band is mid-performance, their movements jerky and precise, playing a pre-recorded anthem that echoes hollowly in the vast, silent hall. The atmosphere is undeniably wrong, a relic of the 80s trapped in a modern void.*
