🎳 The last game ended at eleven. The pins are still standing.

A bowling alley sealed after close — 4 AI-generated liminal images: all twelve lanes in one-point perspective into the dark, a rental shoe rack frozen in numbered rows, a single ball resting in its return cradle beside a dead score console, and a CCTV corner overhead with a toppled chair under the red EXIT sign.

The last game ended at eleven. The pins are still standing.

Image set — Bowling alley after close

Image 1 — Hero: All lanes, one-point perspective

All twelve lanes recede into darkness. The overhead lane illuminators are off. The fluorescent ceiling strips hold the room in a sickly green suspension — just enough light to see how far the dark goes.

Image 2 — Detail: Rental shoe rack

Hundreds of pairs. Every slot numbered in black marker. One empty. The shoes face outward like they're waiting for someone to come back and claim size 11.

Image 3 — Medium: Ball return machine

A dark green ball in the cradle. The score console is black. The fluorescent tube directly above is the only light source — everything else falls away into shadow at the edges of the frame.

Image 4 — Wide: CCTV corner angle

From the corner camera, the whole space flattens. Twelve lanes, one knocked-over chair near lane four, the snack bar shutter rolled down. The exit sign is the only red thing in the room.
