The carnival was let's just say different.
The carnival was made up of several tents small and large.
Everything themed in black and red.
The front gate had scrawled it's title "The Nightmare Circus"
What the Hell am I doing?
Let go, don't get crushed.
Be strong and let go before you get hurt.
Len noticed her absent gaze.
"Gumi are you all right?"
"Hmm...uh yea."
She squeezed his hand.
He smiled and they entered.
Let the match begin.
"Len? Len! LEN! I can't see anything! Where are you?"
She felt around.
There's a wall and another, they're everywhere.
I'm in a box.
And my clothes have changed magically...again.
There has to be a way out.
She pounded against the box screaming for anyone to hear.
She did this repeatedly for what she thought was hours.
I'm trapped in here, no one can hear me, no one can see me, I can't escape.
She sat down and held her knees close.
DRIP.
Gumi held out her hand it was raining.
In her box.
She began to panic.
She came to the corner of the box and felt the water rise to her ankles.
I can't swim!
I won't be able to breathe let alone escape.
The water's rising faster than I thought it would!
"Where is it coming from!"
She felt the top of the box.
There wasn't anything to be found.
It was leaking from nowhere.
Her body went rigid and she smiled.
The water was reaching her neck.
And she was laughing.
"Hahaha-huhu-ah-ah-aaaAAAGHHHHHHH!"
"I almost thought he'd come for me. That he might save me somehow.
You little puddle. You can't depend on anyone other than yourself.
Y-YOU'RE RIGHT!
I don't need him.
I don't need anyone!
I can only depend on myself.
Then no one can hurt me."
Her tears mingled with the water.
"Gumi? Where'd you go? Um. Where am I?"
He walked around the concrete.
It's the top of a building.
Len looks over the edge.
Scratch that it's a skyscraper. Yep, this sucks.
He saw a tiny hand wave at him.
"GUMI!"
The tiny person nodded. "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME! I WON'T STAY HERE FOREVER!"
Why does she always have to fight?
Doesn't she know that I will do anything for her?
He swallowed.
Maybe that's what this is about? She wants to see if I go after her.
There's no way to get into the building.
There's only down.
She blew him a kiss from below and began to walk away.
He walked back as far as possible and ran off the building.
I need her.
More than anything.
I can't just let her leave.
The wind rushed past him as he approached the ground steadily.
She turned her head to see him coming towards her.
He grabbed her as he impacted the Earth.
White pawn marches forward.
They awoke in each other's arms on the cobblestone walkway of the Carnival.
CLICK.
A cane came hard to the ground in front of their faces.
"That may be the most fucked up set of dreams I have ever seen here. That's a compliment."
Yes it's short. I couldn't think of anywhere to end it nicely.
