Abandoned places make good settings for fiction because the empty, unused space evokes an unnerving feeling in the viewer and a sense of mystery. There are many types of abandoned places, and they may have been left five years ago or five centuries ago. Or even five minutes ago, so that the coffee cups are still warm. Was the place shuttered in a systematic way, or are there signs that everyone cleared out in a hurry? Abandoned areas often attract squatters, homeless people, drifters, and low-tier criminals, as you can bunk there, do illegal activities or store illegal items without anyone asking too many questions. It also creates suspense and creates the surprise when you discover clues that it may not be completely abandoned. The use of abandoned places as an aesthetic aid often overlaps with Scenery Gorn. Abandoned areas can be considered an example of a small scale After the End scenario, especially if the area in question is trashed and buildings are in ruins. Depending on the state of the location, it may give a justified example of No OSHA Compliance, because, really, would you be bothered with health and safety in buildings you've abandoned? The Abandoned Warehouse is a popular setting for crime drama, as robbers can plan their crime and store items that Fell Off the Back of a Truck there. Warehouses are also a location used in science fiction, as rows of crates are an inexpensive set dressing, plus they give lots of places for aliens to hide. The abandoned location's emptiness may be a surprise to the characters if it's a mystery story or detective story, in which case they set about looking for clues. Also see Never Recycle a Building. Beautiful Void is a related trope. Any of these can be Unexpectedly Abandoned. See also Bat Scare, which is frequently used in abandoned areas. When a part of a city on the Wrong Side of the Tracks has been so abandoned that even the police won't go in, because it's filled with the thieves and throatcutters who live in a Wretched Hive, you have The City Narrows. (Robert A. Heinlein used the term "Abandoned Area" in I Will Fear No Evil to refer to that part of a city.) |
