Welcome to the carnival

A normal day

It was a cold fall day in the northern part of the United states.I was walking down the street one day listening to some music.as I looked around I saw some of the old tattered and torn down buildings around the town I was living in.I walked past an old wooden house where the wood was so old it was turning black,as soon as I pasted it though a cold chill crept up my spine.I quickly turned around and saw someone standing a few blocks away behind me."h-hello"I said as I stuttered.The figure disappeared as if it was never there to begin with,I turned and continued walking."what was that"I thought to myself as I walked down the street to the library.I got to the top of the steps at the library and slowly walked in.I looked around to see the books neatly stacked and shelved with care.I wave hello to the librarian and walk to the back where most readers hang out.I soon ran into an old dusty book shelf full of books,most of them being urban legends but others were history books.I soon took one down and read the cover to myself."The legend of the dark carnival"It read.I took the book to the librarian and I soon asked if I could borrow this book.He looked at the cover,then looked back at me,"well"he said,"it's your funeral."I was puzzled by what he had said but I soon ignored it thinking it was a practical joke.He took the book card and let me sign it after he stamped it and I rushed home with it.I soon reached my old brick house that looked as if no one had lived there for years.I soon walked inside to find my aunt and cousins sitting around watching tv."hey guys"I said to them,"what are you guys doing."they soon replied "just watching tv."I nodded and soon my cousin Candace asked,"where did you get that book from."I soon said"from the library."she replied,"oh what's the name of it?"I came over and sat with her and said"it's The legend of the dark carnival."she was surprised to hear this"the legend"she said,"why is it only a legend I went to the dark carnival when I was little."I looked at her surprised at what she had told me"well let's find out why it's the legend then shall we"I said excitedly, "yes let's go to your room and read it."she suggested "yes lets"I said in reply.
