Chapter 33

It was only sometime later, when Mel hollered out after them to hurry up, she didn’t have all day, that they finally managed to get themselves and the equipment together, and weave drunkenly into the studio, still snickering. 10

The studio might have looked small from the outside, but Preston was amazed at how well the space beyond the front door was utilized once he stepped inside. The lobby was limited to a small nook in one corner, set off by two large, comfortable sofas surrounding a coffee table that doubled as a play area for small kids. The entire tabletop contained a miniature town, complete with roads and bridges and buildings. There were even cars and trains and blocky little people to play with in the scene, as well. For adults, obligatory magazines and newspapers lay scattered about, as well as a few scrapbooks showing off the studio’s photographic capabilities.
