write an original short story entilted. A painful lesson
Answers
While I was backpacking through South-East Asia in 2014, I found an amazing museum/3D art gallery which allowed you to take pictures and appear as if you were in the scene, despite it being painted in 2D. It was amazing!
(Funny side note here: I got to the museum right before they were closing, and had no one with me to take pictures. So all my shots are just of the scenes themselves – not nearly as fun.)
For the next two years, I imagined how cool it would be to open a similar museum in Cape Town, certain that people would love it the way I had. My girlfriend (now my wife) even suggested opening it as a pop-up exhibit at the waterfront so as to minimize risk slightly.
You can imagine my dismay, then, as I drove past the exact venue a few months later and saw a giant billboard advertising that very museum. Game over.
