Kid's screaming with joy in a carnival, people crashing into each other in bumper cars, enjoying their time as a couple headed to the exit after winning a few games.

Carnival Barker: Step right up and see the hideous creature from the deep! Come inside, if you dare.

The two followed the voice to an older man in a typical carnival outfit.

Rich: Wait, let's check this out.

Erin: No, it's late and I don't want to see something gross in a rubber suit.

Rich: Come on, it'll be fun.

Approaching the owner of the tent and paying him 5 dollars for a ticket and as soon as they opened the curtain a deep growl scared them.

Carnival Barker: Hideous ain't it?

Erin: W-We better go.

As they were going to leave, she bumped into a man making fliers go everywhere.

Erin: Oh, sorry.

Man: No harm done. Please, take one. It could change your life.

Passing one of the fliers to her and she took it before leaving with Rich. The man started picking up the fliers off the grass until he heard the deep groan again, curious he took a step in and what he saw made him drop the fliers.

Man: No. It's not possible. It is. It's you.

Carnival Barker: Hey! 5 bucks, pal!

Man: You don't understand, that's-

Carnival Barker: A hideous creature? Now get out of here before I call the cops.

Shutting the curtain on the man as visible anger came on his face as he walked away but began dialling someone.

Man: Conduit... I've found him. He has returned.


The carnival closed as the rain started pouring down followed by flashes of lightning, stalls have shut down with shutters to prevent them getting wet, while the Barker adjusted the water tank preparing it for tomorrow but the sound of someone running in the rain caught his attention as he looked outside to see nothing and no one.

Carnival Barker: Who's there?! The carnival's closed!

A shifting sound caught his attention as he turned around to see two figures standing there and the lightning flash revealed their details.
