457 - "The Facility"



On the top of Burke Mountain in the heart of the Simon Fraser University endowment lands, deep within the forest hunkers what I call The Facility.


The Facility is a cylindrical cement construct.  It's been there for decades.  As you can see, it's getting weatherworn.  There are no visible doors or windows to this place.  Despite its remote location, the grass around The Facility remains trimmed, no doubt by a lethal kick murder squad operating ultrasecret black lawnmowers.  There is a safety railing on top, presumably to prevent people standing at the roof edge from falling.  How anybody can access the roof without scaling the wall is a mystery. 

And so is the untold purpose of this singular building.
