Karnack
A family peers into a room off the boardwalk and sees the magical machine that is Karnack. For the price of one quarter Karnack will tell your future. Who can resist such a deal? The shadows of mom holding a balloon, junior and dad holding hands stretch toward the mysterious animatron that awaits being brought to life by them. The floor is littered with the little tickets that Karnack prints people's future on; obviously they were not impressed with what they were told. Off in the distance we see a Ferris wheel, roller coaster and more rides on a pier. The warm sunlit sand reaches toward the breaking surf of the beach. Ah, memories!
