thanksgiving is closed please delete your bookmark

I'm working at the shadow universe call center when I get an e-mail message telling me that my family is calling me to the reception desk "immediately." The urgency makes me think that some kind of calamity has occurred, but when I get out there I find out that they just came by because they wanted to have Thanksgiving dinner at the call center.

My mother and my sister go inside, but my father has to get something from his car or something, so I walk with him into the parking lot. My dad used to work here also, but I don't know if he knows where we were planning to sit, so I take him in my car over to the west entrance, closer to where we'll be eating. He tries to give me steering advice as I pull into a parking space, but it just stresses me out and makes it harder for me.

I walk Dad into the building, to the tableclothed dinner table that Mom and Nina are presently setting. Then I go to use the men's room, whereupon I discover for the first time that all of the call center's restrooms have back exits leading to secret passageways that connect them to each other. I'm not really sure what purpose the passageways serve.
