Staircase to Heaven

The rusted door was tightly close. Chen Ge removed the sign that announced the park as closed and entered the abandoned children's theme park. The rainbow door that was peeling, the fountain with no water, and the merry-go-round that could not turn anymore… no one had stepped into this place for a long time already. Chen Ge moved around and finally stopped at the entrance to the warehouse. Inside the room that smelled of mold and mildew was a Doraemon costume that was old and deserted.

"Hello? Are you still there?" Chen Ge had not hung up yet, but there had been no reply from the other end of the line. He walked into the warehouse and picked up the character costume. He held the costume's head in one arm. "I'll look after the costume for you for now. Take a good rest—you deserve it. I will wake you up when the sun climbs over the horizon."
