"Everyone, give a round of applause to the mysterious, magical, entertaining entertainer of the evening; The Marionette!"
There was a round of applause all around the main area of the pizzeria; everyone, young and old all clapped along as the red curtains of the main stage opened up.
Everyone, even the rowdy children, all quieted down as the image of a purple and blue box came into view.
A few seconds went by and nothing happened but absolute silence for the box and a few disappointing whispers here and there.
"Oh no, it looks like The Marionette is scared to get out of its box! Why don't we wake them up by calling their name out?"
There were joyful screams from the crowd as children all young and old cried out for The Marionette to come out and play.
"Marionette! Puppet! MARIONETTE! PUPPET!!!"
They all cried out, their small screaming and cries for the creature to come out and play made the whole establishment shake all around.
"Come on, kids, call them out LOUDER so that they can hear your excitement!"
The children all screamed out once more, their voices cracking once and a while from all their screaming.
There was a sudden shake from the box's lid.
The children stopped their screaming for a moment, all of their eyes and mouths wide open as they saw the lid shake.
There was a slight opening from the box but then it closed back down and shook once more.
The children, quick into action, cried out once again for The Marionette to come out and play with them, to sing, dance, and most importantly give out their most amazing presents with delightful prizes inside.
"MARIONETTE, COME ON OUT!!!"
They all screamed out once again, this time, they banged their small hands upon the wooden boards on the stage to make up an even louder noise.
The lid shook again, this time, more ferociously as the box shook with it, making it jump up and down in glee as the children watched on with curiosity.
Then, with a sudden spring of action and confetti, a tall thin frame of a puppet sprang out of the box, thin but wired strings attached to its legs, arms, and its head to fully make it land upon impact and present it towards the crowd.
The thin frame was tall, almost 8 feet if possible, had a black attire upon its body, three buttons with three different signs on it, its long limbs covered up with bandages, and its face but of a mask of rosy cheeks, blackened eye sockets, a permanent smile, and purple tears for a mask.
The adults may have looked on in surprise and fear of the creature due to its appearance, but the children all cheered on with joy as the colorful confetti all rained down upon them like rain.
The Marionette bowed down and waived its right claw to the children to further excite them on what they were doing today.
The children all cheered on as The Marionette began to dance upon the stage, the strings turning the creature around and about with its flimsy limbs falling and moving around in all sorts of directions as it twirled and twisted itself to impossible lengths.
As the carnival music played on for The Marionette to dance along to, the children dancing along as well with smiles on their faces as The Marionette fell down and tripped itself and laughed it off with the children.
The Marionette laughed along, the permanent smile on its face still gaping open as it continued to dance and sing along to the notes and melody of the music that erupted across the main stage.
Upon the stage, a young boy cried out in hysterically as the binding strings pulled at his skin and bones to twist and turn all over and across the stage in order to better do the dance number right.
His tears made his eyes all red and puffy, his nose was stuffed with mucus, his mouth quivered and continued to hiccup and blabber on and on for anyone, anything even to help him get out of those damn strings to finally be set free.
His cried were left unanswered however as the strings hoisted him up the air, amount the pain go into excruciating lengths as his bones and skin broke apart and split as the strings made him dance in midair.
And as the children all danced and laughed as The Marionette accidentally tangled itself within the strings and even gave out a deafening laugh to reveal its own mistakes.
The boy let out a piercing screech all across the pizzeria as his limbs were all twisted and tangled within each other as his bones and skin ferociously snapped all together and split some more.
Even with the last note hitting into place as the boy was finally lowered down into the box to finally rest himself from all the abuse he faces today.
He laid against the box, his limbs pulsing and aching for healing as they slowly but surely tied itself together tissue by tissue, bone by bone, and blood by blood; it all came together to make an ordinary but an aching body.
The small boy gave out all his sobs and echoing cries inside the box, once again, no one came to help the young boy.
He let out a shaky breath as the sound of the curtains opening once more came on, he let out a cry as he heard those cries once more.
"Everyone, give a round of applause to the mysterious, magical, entertaining entertainer of the evening; The Marionette!"
Where was he?
Why can't he just die?
Where was his Daddy?
And why can't anyone see him?
These questions he kept asking himself made him ask even more questions.
One's more confusing than the last.
Most of all, why was he a Puppet?
