Sneak in through the back door
From Create Your Own Story
Naked and adventurous
You crouch behind your car and look over the bonnet. The way is clear. Keeping your head low, you dash from behind your cover and make your way to the next car along. You rest against this, your bare skin touching the uncomfortably warm metal of somebody else's vehicle. With an 'Ouch' you pull away. Raising yourself up, you take another look over the bonnet. You see a couple walking towards the front entrance, but they seem to be occupied with talking to one another. Running might draw attention, so instead you stand up straight and walk as calmly as you dare towards the next car along. Your heart is thumping, and your eyes are glued to the couple as they head towards the door. Thankfully they head inside without seeing you, and in a panic you cover the rest of the distance to the back door at a mad dash.
The door is exactly how you remember it. You turn the corner and head into the darkness underneath the pier. You see a thin wedge of rusted iron lying on the floor which you pick up. You return to the door, and jam the iron into the narrow gap. You push down, and the door creaks open under your efforts. You grip it with your free hand. Half-turning, you throw the iron over onto the sand before pushing the door open just wide enough for you to slip inside.
The carpet feels prickly and dusty underfoot. Obviously the managers haven't updated the decor since you were a teenager. The air inside is colder than the outside, although it has an artificial smell to it that hints at air conditioning. The hallway is empty and nearby you can see doors that you know lead into the cinemas themselves. LED plaques above the door describes what each room is showing. The hallway takes a sharp turn to the right, and you remember from experience that there are more screens down there, although the ticket counter and bathrooms are also down there.
Running your hands up and down your arms, you take a look at the nearest screens. There's a smutty teen comedy called "Lewd Teacher" to the left, and a soppy romantic film called "The Tulips of Your Heart" to the right. What do you do?
