Mira Grant: Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this the tale of the super rich woman who bought the moon
Grant: but it’s okay, it turns out she’s one of those nice super rich people
Grant: who just wants to do whimsical things

Grant: but that’s all in the past
Grant: that woman is a relic of a by-gone age of exploitative capitalism but now they realized that letting rich people buy moons might not be a good idea
Grant: but they let this one moon sale stand
Grant: you know, for fun

Grant: so in the future, this super rich woman builds an amusement park on the moon of Saturn
Grant: but it’s earth moon themed
Stephen King: what’s that mean?
Grant: cheese
Grant: lots and lots of cheese

Grant: so the moon amusement park exists in perpetuity
Grant: luckily the rich woman left in her will that nothing bad can ever happen
Clive Barker: how’s that work?
Grant: oh you know
Grant: lawyers wrote it down that nothing bad can ever happen
Grant: pretty boilerplate stuff

Grant: so the descendants of the super rich woman are going to the amusement park
Grant: but they’re just ordinary folks, you know, just like you and me!
Grant: despite being scions of obscene moon-buying wealth

Grant: they might be super rich but they’re just like you and me
Grant: just your average polyamorous bisexual commune
Barker: oh damn! they ARE just like us

Grant: so the descendants go to the moon amusement park
Grant: but, uh oh, someone tries to kidnap their kid!
Grant: don’t worry, it doesn’t work
Grant: so they all lived happily ever after
Dean Koontz: phew! that had me worried
