Topic of Choice- Ryan Dunn

Earlier this summer, a few of my friends and I decided to check out an abandoned factory in Gloucester. We had heard some rumors about the place, and figured it was worth a night’s trek into the woods. Once we arrived at the gravel path leading to the site, I was a bit skeptical and suspicious of the structure I saw in the distance. Thankfully there were few clouds in the sky, so the moon was shining full force so that it was nearly as bright as day, except the atmosphere had a blue aura. Eventually we reached the structure, and entered into its foreboding shadows. On the outside, the buildings simply took on the shape of 6, sixty foot tall silos. Although on the inside, it looked more like some haunted house pulled out of a Hollywood slasher film. Rusty, decaying stairs wounded up towards the upper levels, where the floors were littered with random holes that plummeted all the way to the bottom floor. Finally, we reached the roof and were in awe of the sight before us. At that height, light from neighboring houses was no longer an issue and allowed us to view a plethora of stars in the night sky. In the distance, we could see a broad river, glittering brightly in the moonlight. It was definitely a sight worthy of the trip it took to experience it.
