A smile was rare in Europe because of the Great War. A group called World Wonders tried to bring that smile back in a war-torn Europe. They picked spots where adults and children could watch entertainment for free. It worked; they donated their earnings towards reconstruction and rebuilding Europe from the war. They toured around France, Germany, Italy, Serbia & Bosnia. But one day, something terrible happened: the tent they were performing in caught fire. After hours of clearing out the debris, 'World Wonders' were nowhere to be found.
Hamid, a young boy living a harsh life in Mostar, Bosnia, stumbled across an abandoned carnival covered in ash. A big red tent was towering over the abandoned carnival. Curious, he entered the big red tent, and it was littered with trash, but across him was a room. He entered it and found an old poster belonging to the World Wonders.

They thought it was just a night of fun. They were wrong. When a group of friends visits a lively carnival in a remote town, they expect a night of thrills and laughter. But as they step into the Room of Mirrors, things take a dark turn. In one of the mirrors, they catch a glimpse of something horrifying-a sinister clown with black, soulless eyes, razor-sharp teeth dripping with blood, and wild, dark blue hair that seems to move on its own. Before they can react, the lights flicker and then plunge them into darkness. When the lights come back on, the friends find themselves alone. The once-bustling carnival is now eerily silent and deserted. As they try to find their way out, they realize that the carnival is not just abandoned-it's a trap. The twisted clown is more than just a reflection; he's real, and he's hunting them. The mirrors were just the beginning of his deadly game, and now, there's no escape. Will they make it out alive, or will they become the latest victims of the clown's twisted domain? Welcome to the carnival. Once you enter, you can never leave.

Life's Cruel Joke
Alice was a kind and caring girl. She was raised by her father until a tragic car accident took him from her. Alice, then, grew up in the foster care system because her mother was drunk and unfit for watching over a child. Her favorite memory was that of her father taking her to see the circus when she was little. She remembers a red-headed boy who she meet when she was scared. That boy turned into a man and Alice saw him again when the circus came back into town years later. Except for this time his hands where red too. Red with blood. This story will not be completed. There has been too much time since I stopped. I will leave it up for now. I am sorry for those of you that wanted to see this finished. Maybe one day I will come back to it, but for right now it is done.Complete

Two broken souls in the midst of a crazy world. Two souls running away from their past. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel was cracking, slowly closing in. When these two connect, as if they were set on the same path, light creeps in through the cracks, and for or a moment, the tunnel seems to have a way out, but what if it collapses before they make it? - "You saved my life." The words come out as a whisper, I've been dying to say that. I thank god every day that he came into my life when he did. "Fuck Vivian, you don't know how much I needed you." I tear up just a little as he speaks, I don't know the last time I cried happy tears. I bring my hands up to cup his cheeks, resting my forehead against his. "No matter how much I push, I don't mean it. Please don't give up on me." My words seem to relieve him in some way as I feel his shoulders relax. "Even when I'm gone, I'll be by your side, forever." He brings his hand, sticking his pinky out. "pinky promise."I wrap mine around his, placing a kiss on his lips. Warning before you read!! This is my first book! This book will contain topics of SA, eating disorders, and mature content, if any of these things may bother you in anyway, please scroll! I hope when I finish this book I can public a clean version, with a different perspective leaving out these topics, but for now, this is how i've envisioned this story to go! Enjoy -Ash🌸
Cherie
A young girl has issues with herself & contradicting thoughts about the people around her, resulting from negligence from her parents, which eventually leads her down the path of worldwind romance, narcissism, older men, tigers, the circus & an extreme personality disorder. All tragedies are concealed by her wonderful sense of humour. I kept telling them something was wrong. I kept saying that sleeping on my stomach didn't help with the swelling, and that knuckles on my forehead wouldn't slam words into my head. I told him that the pretty lights looked like festive nooses; they didn't make me feel any better. Most of all, I told him that I felt like I was a million different people. He said, "What do you think this is? Bittersweet Symphony?"Complete
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
