Carnival

"Hey Molly, guess what," shouted Hannah.

"What? What?" questioned Molly.

"I got two tickets to the carnival tonight!!"

"Carnival? I didn't know they were in town," said Molly.

"Oh ya they are," said Hannah "last night I was walking home and I passed by that big open field near Oaks Street,when some twinkling lights caught my eye. I turned around and saw the giant Ferris wheel going up and all the other rides that are at carnivals."

"But theres never been a carnival here before," Molly said.

"Well I don't know what to tell you, but I can assure you I saw the carnival myself," said Hannah.

"I guess I have always wanted to go to a carnival and now that I think about it, I'm really excited," exclaimed Molly.

That day Hannah and I went to school and talked nonstop about our plans for the evening, except nobody else in school had any knowledge of a carnival being in town. One kid even said he passed by the field this morning and didn't see anything other than the normal old tall grass and lost garbage. That evening we walked to the carnival and to my surprise it was actually there. I guess after nobody else knew about it, I started to doubt its existence.

"Wow the lights are so mezmorizing," Molly said as they walked through the entrance and marveled at the lights.

"Ya, the dark night really makes them twinkle," said Hannah.

"I'm really excited, I can't wait to get on the ferris wheel and see the whole town," exclaimed Molly.

As the two girls entered the carnival, they noticed that nobody looked quite right. They were all wearing odd monster costumes.

"Wow I wonder if we missed the sign that said to wear your best monster costume. I wonder if there will be a competition or something," chuckled Hannah.

"I don't think we could compete with them though, their costumes are so realistic," said Molly also laughing alittle.

"Oh well, lets start with the Ferris wheel," Hannah shouted over the loud carnival music.

As Hannah and Molly approached the ride they saw they were the only ones in line, and as they continued to look around they realized the park now looked deserted except for the man working the ride who was also dressed in an oddly realistic costume.

"I think we are the only ones here," Molly said alittle confused.

"That's really odd. Excuse me sir, are the rides open yet?" questioned Hannah.

"Yes ma'am they are," the carnival worker said.

After a little hesitation the girls got on the ferris wheel, feeling a little odd being the only ones in site.

"I wonder what happened to all the people that we passed by at the entrance," Hannah thought.

As the wheel went up things just became wierder and wierder. The night sky seemed to fade away, and so did all the houses in sight. Before long everything outside the carnival gates disapeared and the sky turned pure white. The people they saw at the entrance in the costumes were now gathering around the base of the ferris wheel.

"Something's not right Hannah," Molly said anxiously.

"Molly! Molly!" shouted Hannah. "The people, the people, they are climbing up the ferris wheel!"

"I'm beginning to think that they aren't just costumes"

As the girls watched in terror, the monsters began climbing closer and closer to the top, while making awful screeching sounds.

"What do we do? What do we do?" screamed Hannah.

Soon the monsters were in their cart and everything went silent.

Over the next few days search parties looked everywhere for Hannah and Molly. Children from school were questioned, and all they could think about was the carnival they supposedly went to, but the police searched the field by oaks street, and found no trace of a carnival. Hannah and Molly were never found.
