I was walking around this dark area, I couldn't exactly place a name to it and I've never seen it before but it looked something similar to the abandoned circus you hear so much about as a child. 'Don't go in there or you'll get lost', or 'if your bad some scary person will guide you to the circus to eat you'. It was used as a threat for kids kinda like 'if you eat the watermelon seeds a watermelon will grow in your stomach.' I walked around and went into the 'no kids under the age of 12 aloud' building. I was 14 so I was fine.

'I wonder why kids under the age of 12 aren't aloud in here? I mean isn't this a place for those kids?' I thought to myself as I continued on into the building.

It was an area for acrobatics. There were a lot of things but in my opinion the most notable was the beam the fell down. Surprisingly it was still intact and you could tell where the acrobatics almost always preformed because it was discolored. I looked around and walked towards the 'staff only area'.

'Why does this feel wrong like it's a dream? ' I thought to myself curiously. I dissmissed the feeling and kept going and went into the door. It looked like a prep room or a dressing room or something along those lines I don't know.
I looked around taking my surroundings into account and I noticed a bucket of unused chalk it confused me because why would it be unused, unless this was like a spare bucket. If so where was the main bucket?
I looked around looking for the main bucket and couldn't find it. It wasn't worth pursuing so I stopped looking for it and approached the vanity. There was still make up there.

'I'm not sure if this was their best idea but whatever works I guess' I thought to myself.
Then I started to smell something rancid, it smelt sweet but it also smelt like rotting meat.

'What the fuck died here!?' I thought disgusted. Then I heard something fall,

'What was that!? ' I thought as panic rushed through my body. I went to the main room and nothing there fell.

'If nothing here fell then what did?' I thought fearful then I heard laughing it was very high pitched but it wasn't like a child I don't know how to describe it. Then it proceeded to say

"why hello, there what are doing here?" Then the voice's body appeared on one of the trapezes and she was just sitting, her back facing me while talking to me

"you're aware you shouldn't be here right~" and she flipped upside down and I stumbled back in terror.

"Let's get you back to reality shall we?" She asked her voice sounding like she was possessed.

I shot up in a cold sweat "i-it was just a nightmare?" I mumbled
