The Carnival

The old carnival at the edge of town had always been there. Nobody knew when it arrived or who owned it. For all anyone cared, God himself could have plopped the thing down. Didn't stop anyone from enjoying it. The booths that were always working, employees up around the clock, the place was great. Until it wasn't. Just a few years back it just...stopped. No one knows how or why. The employees disappeared, games rusted away, now it's just a rusty pile of scrap metal taking up space. Apparently, someone went there a couple days ago. Went missing. Cops are in a rustle about it, though I don't see why. They'll turn up one way or another. After all, there's nothing in the carnival. Right?
