[no subject]16 Years AgoShe looked through the crowd bustling about the street, their bland faces unfamiliar.
|
|
[no subject]16 Years Ago"Mom?" she called, yet her tiny voice was not heard.
|
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoHer Mother's hair was flame red with curls tight to her head, but with the circus in town there were too many red heads to pick her out.
|
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoShe turned towards the man in the booth, took as much money as she had, and asked, "one ticket for the circus please." |
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoFilled with the strong stench of animal waste mingling with that of buttered popcorn and funnel cake, the air clung to her skin causing beads of sweat to blur her vision and slow her desperate search.

|
[no subject]16 Years AgoHer breathe begun to quicken as she panicked. |
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoShe yelped and turned as a group of teenagers knocked into her and stumbled past, laughing loudly.
|
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoShe slowly gathered the belongings sprawled on the floor, her small sniffles barely noticable.
|
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoHowever, all those baby girl fears started to disappear as she began to stalk all the fascinating, chilling and bizarre things there were to see at the circus...
|
|
|
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoShe wiped away the teardrops and looked at the large array of bright colors, exotic animals and strange food.
|
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoTents of all sizes and colors were dispersed among the circus' rented grounds.

|
[no subject]16 Years AgoAfter walking there with her Mother, Sophie knew that she wasn't far from home, but she was definately feeling lost now, as she looked up and saw the sky blend with the top of the circus tents.
|
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoShe decided to explore the tallest of them all, so headed towards the red tent.
|
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoThe smell of incense was thick in the air making Sophi woozy. |
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoBehind a glass ball was an old woman, wrinkled from the long years, she rested beneath a olive cloak and croaked with a voice like a paper in the whistling wind, "Would you like to see your mommy, Sophie?"
|
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoShe looked around to make sure no one was too close and then she whispered that she had a speical secret way of finding my mum. All I had to do was walk with her, into the back of the tent.
|
|
[no subject]16 Years AgoI tittered after her, cautious and afraid, she lifted the other end of the tent and told me to look through the triangular opening. I saw the circus' performers, all readying for thier next act, but before I could observed any longer a pair of callused hands pulled me back and I stuggled until I saw black.
