He stepped inside,

Laid in the magicians coffin.

Only his blood found escape.🪚

Burnt to cotton candy pink:

The shade of summer.

Carousel spins fast

Children's laughter fades to cries

A parent’s nightmare

Barrel of fun twists, airs geyser,

Turns upside down , skirts issues

Clowns grimace frozen.

But you’ll have fun so it’s all good?

I entered the Carnie to gawk,

to peer at the freakish sights -

But I came to love those gazes

turned on me, and so I stayed

I love this, I always daydreamed about joining up when I was a tween🖤Ngl, I sometimes still do.

Exhibitor or performer? Seen the film Nightmare Alley I guess? I see you as the girl who gets electrocuted every night in the electric chair, Rooney Mara in the movie.

Honeygloom's avatar

I could do that, I need to watch that movie it looks like. I’d also like to be a knife thrower, not sure if those two would go well together, but you never know unless you try.

A.P. Murphy's avatar

I'd pay good money to see a knife thrower who was electrocuted at the same time. I very much recommend the Nightmare Alley movie, a great horror/noir crossover with gothic touches.

Honeygloom's avatar

I’d probably pay to be electrocuted and throw knives. Sounds like a blast 💥

Nightmare Alley was great! One of the best examples of noir in recent years.

Fun here is endless,

Get on your final ride now,

And you’ll die happy.

What more can we ask for?? I love this!! It’s got a kind of Twilight Zone feel🖤

With the clowns we run,

through striped tents and bright banners,

to confetti doom

Honeygloom's avatar

I absolutely love this image! What a horrifying scene, would make a great story🖤

K.M. Bennett's avatar

I really like this one too. Thanks for the cool prompt! It does kind of feel like only the beginning of a story... 😀

Sideshow signs beckon

Horrible sights await me

Do I belong here?

Honeygloom's avatar

From the Ferris wheel,

See all the sights, and lights, and,

Pickpockets at work... 😎

Honeygloom's avatar

Chris J. Franklin's avatar

Haha! And with all these people around, they're also making a killing... 😎

🤢That’s why I never ate more than cotton candy at the carnival.
