This tale is based on the SCP-821 rewrite, by
Uncle Nicolini, and is a rewrite of the original linked tale.
This article features four 'seasons' to read through, which can be accessed by clicking the wedges of the dial at the top of the page — for convenience, a Screenreader accessibility toggle has been added to the page, such that all tabs are instead displayed in linear order, without requiring further interaction. The toggle is located right below this module!
Summer
1961
It must have only been a few years back, maybe '56 or '57. My pops was never great at talking about his feelings — he only told me that he loved me once or twice. The last time we were here, walking through the gardens, I saw a look in his eyes that I couldn't quite understand. He watched a young couple stopping to smell the azaleas, and smiled, while a tear welled in the corner of his eye, and then trickled down his face.
At the time, I asked him what was wrong — he told me that it was nothing. He said, 'Your mother and I used to be like that.' At the time, I was pissed at my mother (still am), so I rolled my eyes, and tried to get him to focus on my new suggestions for the park. Instead, he waved me off, sitting down on a bench and deeply inhaling the mélange of floral stenches he seemed to love; I much preferred the sights, sounds and bustle of big city living. I used to say that I'd rather inhale exhaust fumes, over a sea breeze.
I think I get it now.
I think about my father a lot. I wonder if he would have accepted the changes I've made to the fair. I hope he could have seen my vision come to life, improving on and adding to his wonderful creations; I wonder if he would have liked the rides, or the games. I think about what he would have said, seeing the throngs of people flooding into the faire, back in the '59 season.
Those were the good days, when there were more smiles than flowers in Dixie Fun Faire; when children's laughter was louder than the calliope on the Dixie Carousel, and business was booming. We all had big hopes, and even bigger dreams, but…
But I couldn't stop thinking about the Pleasure Garden, and all that it was to my father. Maybe he was right, and it was better back then; there is a simplicity to the beauty that I see now. I know, one day, this park will be bigger than either of us dreamed — but I wonder if it will make me as happy, as the flowers did my father.
