Deep in the forest, under a moonlit sky sits a small circus. Following the winding dirt road, children are lured to their demise as laughter sounds and colorful lights flicker. "Come play with us" the creatures beckon as their shadows dance along the walls.
A little girl stranded, lost in the circus. Dis-owned. The hostility began small until her legs were severed and replaced with goat legs. She lay there, trapped in her cage crying as the visitors laughed and gawked at this horrendous sight. Forcing her to do tricks and make a mockery of herself or be punished by the ring master. Every wrong action led to decay as the acidic substance ate away at her skin. Two blonde haired twins forced to become another attraction. Taken from the nearby town, they began their service. Boy and girl both forcefully stripped from thier clothing and tied to surgical tables. As their table's inched towards eachother the twins eyes met at the object in the ring masters hand, A needle and thread. The screams echoed around the forest as the needle was thrusted into their sides, the black thread going all the way through as drops of blood rode along the twine. the screams now halted and on the table, lay the twins, stitched together. One screw up would lead to decay. forced to smaile and make a mockery of themselves. Next was a boy of blue, which always caught the eyes of many girls. The Romeo of his time until he was drawn in, by an elegant girl. She wore a white ball gown with red streaks. why she was caged in this horrible circus he would never know. Until one night, he snuck into the circus and was snatched. Grabbing the cage bars as he was being pulled away the caged girl put out her hand and the boy grabbed it. As she pulled her legs were revealed, he let go in pure horror and was dragged away. A few minutes later he woke up from being knocked out. As he opened his eyes there was the ring master in very dim lighting. Trying to flee the ringmaster approached with a blindfold. As he tied it around his victims head he announced "There's no use struggling." The Lights went out and several glowing substances illuminated the room. Loud screams echoed along the walls of the tent as several needles plunged into the blue boys arm. Injecting the luminant substance into his arm. Several minutes later he was unconcious again. As he slowly came too he could hear the loud chanting and laughing of the crowd outside the once empty cage. Trying to move he found himself belted to the chair his eyes still blindfolded. Biting his tongue he let out a little squeal as his sharp, jagged teeth drew blood as he shivered. Why was he so cold, he also had a weird craving now. A peice of meat was thrown on the table in front of him, digging in he found himself eating raw, chilled meat. It may sound gross but he liked it, within seconds the pound of raw meat was nothing more then a few crumbs. Forced to eat strange cold meat or face the acidic pain of decay.
So come on down to the Dark Woods Circus. Take a long walk down that winding path. Visit the four freakishly grotesque figures, laugh and smile. Enjoy yourself. "Wont you come play with us." Soon you wont have a choice.
