[3300] Combinatorium, part 1

Hey all, this is the first third to my sci-fi short story Combinatorium.

It's about a pair of characters who get lost in a trippy, infinite McDonald's PlayPlace.

Normally I'd release all 9000 words of it at once, but I've been working it over for the past few months and realized I've been spinning my wheels without feedback. Therefore I'm releasing this little bit to see if things are fitting together the way I expect.

Questions I have for you, dear readers:

• So far, does the story make sense? Is it clear what's going on? Can you tell where it's going?
• If you have questions about "how this all works", do you want them answered or would you be satisfied with them unanswered?
• Would you keep reading the remaining two thirds of the story after this?

Hope you enjoy!
