~Hey!! The story to this is kind of difficult to understand at first but then it gets really good so stay tuned!!~
"Were here, Sasuki...Get up!" Your mom shakes you and you slowly regain the rough sound of tires rolling slowly over gravel and pebbles. You look up at the foggy window and swipe your hand over it to get a clearer image, you saw the recognizable sign of your early childhood "Fun Land" it read. Slowly, your motionless, tired mouth turns into a slight smile. The sight of children clutching their mother's arm and dragging them to their favorite ride made you happy. "Hey, uh...Mom?" You ask looking in her direction. She turns around and replies "What is it sweetheart?" With a smile, "Do you think that this place looks different from when I was 4?" You asked questioning why you thought this place was fun to you. "No, its been the same" You can tell she was lying just to get our hopes up. The car pulled in between two faded white lines and came to a slow stop "We made it" Your dad turns back with a smile towards you and your younger brother, Yauko, "Ready for some fun, Yauko?" Your brother turned his head with a huge exited smile, kicking his feet and bouncing up and down in his seat "YEAH I CAN'T WAIT!!!" He shouted. You unbuckled your seatbelt and slowly opened the car door to feel a cool, crisp breeze, the setting was a grey sky with lots of clouds...Almost like it was going to rain. You personally thought it was bone chillingly creepy, but you kept in your thoughts to make sure your brother had as much fun as possible. You felt uneasy, and sick... But no one else did, it was weird looking around and seeing something that you know wasn't your childhood. You trudge to the bathrooms to splash your face with water hoping to calm yourself, but the invisible sickness only gets worse. The reflection of yourself starts to get pale and you feel weak. You exit the bathrooms drying your face with your shirt and look over to see your family at the Farris wheel line. "HEY SASUKI, COME ON WERE ALMOST ON THE FERRIS WHEEL HURRY UP AND JOIN US!!" Your mom calls over to you waving her hand with a smile. You jog over there and board the large wheel with your family, "Sasuki, you okay?" Your brother asks, kicking his feet in his chair again. "Y-Yeah...Ill be okay" You stutter weakly "Are you sure?" Your mom asks, concerned for you and feels your forehead "Sasuki you're burning up, let's go home and treat it" She let's her hand go of your face and your hair gently falls in front of your eyes. "No, trust me, I'll be fine..." You brush the hair out of your face and you're at the top of the Farris wheel when you hear loud shrieks of women and men, and the heartbreaking sound of children crying, among the crowd you hear "HELP, PLEASE!!! I CAN'T FIND MY CHILD!!" The woman has short breaths in the cold air, in a panic and a tragedy. You all look out of the opening in the Farris wheel cart your family was in to see a girl running after people with a dulled combat knife, she almost looked like she didn't want to... Because even from all the way up there... You could tell. The ferris wheel cart you were in came to the bottom and your family ran out in a hurry to protect Yauko. You were too weak to run so you tried to trudge after them "MOM, DAD, YAUKO!!!" You yelled "WAIT!!! PLEASE" They couldn't hear you over the commotion, they got in the car and drove off. You stand there with one tear rolling down your face, scared and alone. You trudge into the circus tent and hide behind the last row of seats so no one could find you. You waited until the horrendous sounds of shrieking and crying were over... At least your family was safe. But you wondered if you were.
