Description

A Carousel RideAt the center of the carnival stood the carousel. It was surrounded by dark, looming trees.She tugged on her mother?s hand and pointed at it. She wanted to ride.Her mother looked down at her, eyes glassy. She smiled and nodded. Laughing, the girl ran to the carousel.There were six horses to ride. Each one was a different color: blood red, dark green, deep lavender, dirty gold, midnight blue, and the darkest black imaginable. She chose the blue one.As soon as she sat down and clutched the pole, the carousel started spinning.She came full circle and looked at her mother. She laughed. Her mother waved.Again she went around, bobbing up and down with the horse. Her laugh grew, her joy more evident by the second.Again her mother waved.The carousel began picking up speed, gradually at first. She hardly noticed. She was having too much fun.She circled around and saw her mother?s hand. Waving.She laughed again. The carousel went faster.Her mother?s hand waved.Around again.Laughing.Waving.Laughing.Gone.Where was her mother? She had been waving at her just the last time she went around.The carousel was going faster, and she wanted off.Faster.She couldn?t move. She was afraid of being thrown off.Faster.She was beginning to feel sick. She held on tighter to the pole and closed her eyes.Up and down the horse went, and faster and faster the carousel spun.She opened one eye. Everything was blurry and dark. So dark.She took a deep breath and closed her eye again.The carousel began to slow down.Slower.Slower.Stop.She opened her eyes. She slid down from the horse and stepped off the carousel.She looked around. Something felt different. The carnival was still there, not too far from the carousel. The trees were still there. But they were dead. They had been for many years.She looked down at herself. Same body. Same dress.Where was she?She stepped forward and saw the carnival shimmer out of the corners of her eyes. She took another step.Shimmer.She saw her mother, waving.She began to run. She kept getting further from the carousel, but no closer to the carnival. No closer to her mother.She kept running.Her mother kept waving.And then...Nothing.The world was completely black. There was nothing. She looked down again.There was no dirt. No grass.She looked up.There was no sky.There was no carnival.No carousel.No mother.Only black.She sank down to the ground.She was falling.Falling forever.She began to cry.[Haunshaul]
