"Let's try rotating it now! See if THAT works too!"


I get to the hospital with my new armored mail truck system (or AMTS).  I can put off a more powerful engine for now, because this one is pretty good.  However I cannot put off getting gas.  I drive for about ten minutes before it runs out, with a gas station about a mile away. 
"Time to walk." 

I've arrived at the hospital, but it looks abandoned for longer than the crazies have been around. I go in and see a placard that has a good bit of it scratched out, but I can read "Mental Hospital". In front is a sign that says it's some company's headquarters.

"Great, I've come all this way to end up in a looney bin." Just then my passenger wakes up in the car a few yards away. He panics and tries to claw his way out, but he hits his his head on the window and goes unconscious again. I sigh and leave him there.

Inside, the place looks pretty ransacked, like most of the city, but some of the holes on the wall seem newer, there's no dust in them. I draw my hatchet. "Figures that there'd be crazies in an old mental institution." I turn a corner and see the body of a crazy with a couple of bullet holes. I back away slowly and hear the sound of a repeater rifle being roostered. I hear "Don't move." from behind me. 

It's not a mental institute bro.

I think he meant that he found a new building of importance.

Both wrong. It's just another torn up building that I happen to be in.

I never said it was THE hospital. In previous post you may remember I said the map (which I used to get there) was like 20 years old.

"Please turn the ferris wheel off now?"

"What are you going to do if I don't? Sit on me?"

"No, I'll force you on one of the cars and stop it at the top."

"To do that at the moment you'd have to have the strength to move the weight of all the cars plus whatever supports it has plus my weight to the top and hold it there."

"Well in that case, nothing."

"Good." I say, turning to the ferris wheel. I attempt to move it via the lowest car. "Well it's not locked into place... I'M BRILLIANT!"
