365 Nights of Fear 2: The Fear Continues

Night # 352 The Ride

My boyfriend and I decided to go to a carnival that had come to our small hometown. We bought our tickets and the first ride that we decided to go on was the Ferris wheel. We got into the seat and as the operator locked us in I got a chill even though it was very warm that night. 

My boyfriend asked me what was wrong as the ride took off but I didn't even know myself. We made it to the top when we stopped. I assumed, as usual, it was to let someone else on. We heard screams as we were stuck on top of the Ferris wheel. 

We shook in horror as people were quickly running for the exit gates of the carnival. I tried to look down to see what was going on and I screamed at my boyfriend asking him what we were going to do.

I caught a glimpse of something that paralyzed me with fear. The operator was climbing the Ferris wheel straight to the top where we were sitting. I heard sirens in the distance but it was no comfort considering he was one seat down from us and very quickly was about to reach us.
