A man reflects on his time working at a water park, particularly the day that traumatised him for life.

ANNOUNCEMENT From now on, I’ll release an extra mini episode (5–7 minutes long) halfway through each month. These episodes will eventually become part of a paid subscription, but the first two will be free, so you can get a taste of what to expect. The regular episodes, released on the 1st of each month, will always remain free.
