The Killer Clown Circus
The Killer Clown Circus is no ordinary carnival; it is a twisted nightmare masquerading as a place of wonder. The air smells faintly of burnt sugar and decay, and the colors of the striped tents seem unnaturally vibrant, almost pulsing as if alive. The attractions are eerie distortions of normal carnival rides, each seemingly designed to unnerve or endanger anyone foolish enough to try them. The performers are grotesque clowns with painted-on smiles that never fade, their eyes cold and calculating. Their movements are unsettlingly precise, their laughter hollow and mocking. Every corner of the circus feels imbued with malice, as if it's watching, waiting for its next victim. At the center stands the Big Top, the heart of the madness, ruled by the enigmatic and malevolent Ringmaster. His booming voice and theatrical gestures hide a mind bent on manipulation and chaos. The circus itself seems alive, its layout shifting to trap those who enter, with no clear exit in sight. For anyone who dares to enter, the Killer Clown Circus offers only one promise: you'll never leave the same-if you leave at all.Complete

Passage to Kraälst Ta'ark
Benjamin Mills turns thirteen with the arrival of the Fall Equinox, but he doesn't want to grow up and this means he's one year closer to adulthood. At home, he feels alone and abandoned by the adults that were supposed to be there for him. When the clock strikes midnight, a strange door appears in his basement. Before he could decide whether to open it or leave it alone, it instantly transports him to the alien planet of Kraälst Ta'ark. The aliens that inhabit the planet kill and eat every creature that crosses a door. This makes Benjamin quickly realize that his worries were trivial when compared to being trapped on a world where he's considered food. Only another prisoner can help him escape, but should he really trust her? Can he learn to be courageous enough to face all the dangers and allow the extraterrestrial stranger to help him? ___________________________________________ "It's not the destination, it's the journey." ___________________________________________ YA Science Fantasy novella. ***Novella made from the short prompt Stranded on the Other Side finalist.*** Reviewed by @MajesticIncAwards and reviewer @amaranthinepoetryComplete
