The Forgotten Works

Nobody knows how old the Forgotten Works are, reaching as they do into distances that we cannot travel nor want to.

The Forgotten Works just go on and on and on and on. You get the picture. It’s a bigger place, much bigger than we are.

There is a gate right there. Beside the gate is a statue of a forgotten thing. There is a sign above the gate that says:

THIS IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE FORGOTTEN WORKS
BE CAREFUL
YOU MIGHT GET LOST

-In Watermelon Sugar – Richard Brautigan, 1968
