There were platforms for as far as Kevin could see.  In the dark, they looked like an endless string of lights hanging above the water.

The submarine docked at the leg of the closest platform.  Just one of the legs was as large as a small building. Kevin crooked his neck looking up.

And of course, the only way up was a ladder.

Welcome to the platform flotilla that the locals call the Land of Pepper.

Since the war on Christmas began, Santa’s people have been growing most of their produce here to avoid any risk of being under Easter’s control. It is considered a popular post with many recreational opportunities.
