L.J.'s puppet

Home

         Home....that's is where this all began.

         one late night I had been up late working on an assignment I would never get credit for, it was due the next day but I had been suspended for the next there or four days. It was a time ago, so I do not nor wish to remember. I put the project away and curled into my nice, warmer than normal, bed. It twas late so I did not notice that nor the sent of candy or the faint breathing. I snuggled into the corner of my bed, I can't sleep unless I have something to curl up against.

       I did not notice the sound of my family's death for I had my music in my ears turned to maximum loudness. I fell into a deep sleep or so I had hope, and did he.

                *In the dream*

       I was pulled, by an unseen force, to my feet. I was standing in the middle of a deep dark woods. It was eerie how the mist settled around me. Suddenly i was pulled along like a marionette doll into a monochrome circus. every thing looked as if a deranged clown or child had put this to gather on a whim.

        I wanted, deep inside, to call out to see if anyone was there, but I've seen far to many horror films to pull that stupid stunt. I could feel the monster lurking close behind me,I would have turned and looked except for two things, one I'm .not a stupid blond who trips on flat suffices and second I couldn't if I tried. The force pulled me to the side of the biggest tint then vanished. I stood there,running thru all the plans I had made, but none fit the seen. Suddenly a large clown appeared in front of me.

        "Why, hello there 'carnie' Candy." he said sending a shiver up my spine. "I've, no no, we've been wait for you, I've been waiting to tasted my Candy."  he said licking his lips greedily.

        "H-how do y-you know"I gulped" th-that name?"

      "Why would I not know the name of my pet,love?" I took a step back,and his grin widened, I growled and stepped two steps forward.

       "You don't scare me. I-I've concerned my fear of you." I yelped out angered. He chuckled at me as if I was telling a joke.

          "Puppet, now we both know trays a lie." he grabbed my arm spinning around and pushing me against the canvas like fabric of the tint."don't lie to your master... pet" he said dragging a bloody claw down my jaw line. I pulled my head away from him and to one side,he bit down hard on my neck.
