At first: This parking lot is deathly convenient! A parking enthusiast found a way to rub shoulders with the useful and the macabre.
Drivers in the small town of Spookyville, known for its chronic parking woes, discovered with a mix of surprise, dismay, and relief that their beloved cemetery had been transformed, overnight, into a vast parking lot. The reason? A somewhat eccentric local entrepreneur, Fred Tombstone, who decided to solve one problem by exploiting another.
“In our community, there are more living people with cars than dead ones needing graves, so the math was simple,” Fred Tombstone stated. “It was time to do something more lively with this space rather than leave it to the dead who don’t have to worry about parking.”
This macabre transformation sparked strong reactions among the residents of Spookyville, torn between their superstitious fears and their desire to park their vehicles without the threat of a ticket. Some even pointed out that it’s a rather immoral way to pay respect to the dead. Others see it as a way to capitalize on a space that wasn’t serving much purpose.
“Charging the living to park on the dead is an idea that could have come from the beyond,” joked Mrs. Desrochers, an octogenarian from Spookyville. “It’s a devilishly effective idea, but I can’t help but think we’re all going to end up in hell for this.”
However, Fred Tombstone’s innovation seems to have been a resounding success, as he claims that his unusual parking lot is already full every day. Good news for those who no longer have to circle for hours to find a spot, but perhaps less so for those who hoped to rest in peace.
“Sorry for the inconvenience,” Tombstone concluded. “It’s a necessary evil, like parking itself.”
