The carnival is filled with wonderful things, but sometimes their not the funnest in the world. The worst part about this specific carnival was that it had clowns in their mirror maze to encourage everyone. The person who thought of that really should have their head screwed on again.

Claire has hated mirror mazes since the first time she stepped into one. She had walked straight into a mirror almost her first few steps into the maze, so you could guess why she didn’t like them. She had also never liked clowns either. The thought of them made her shiver. Her friends, Maria and Zoey, knew these facts, they made Claire go into the mirror maze with them.

Claire kept her hands in the air in front of her, feeling for the opening between mirrored walls. Her friends insisted on her going first into the maze. A cold shiver ran up Claire’s spine as she peered at the eerie reflections of reality. She had to have been stumbling for about fifteen minutes when she noticed her friends were not behind her. “Zoey! Maria! Where are you! This isn’t funny!” Claire cautiously called out.

Claire only heard one echoing response back to her cries. “Heheheheheheh,” the twisted and dreadful laugh in ringed and crept Claire’s ears. Desperately looking for the source of fear, Claire scanned her surroundings. The only thing that could be seen in the mirrors were herself. Her heart lurched when she pieced her vision together looking into the mirror back at herself.

She shouldn’t have kept staring sometimes your reflection gets mad at you when you stare at them. Her eyes started to look to the right, but she wasn’t looking to the right. She was staring straight at her self moving in the mirror. Claire looked back at the reflection that looked like hers, but wasn’t.

She glanced to her right like her reflection. When she looked back at her reflection her reflection was normal again. She immediately looks back to her right, as when she realizes what’s in the mirror to her right she freaks out. The clown was standing there was the clown. His mask had a twisted smile. Not the kind you would see a normal still terrifying clown wear.

Claire had gone missing after the carnival. The little carnival game Zoey and Maria played proved to be fatal. The next morning after 2 weeks of search and rescue teams racing around the clock to find her they did. She was found drowned in the river next to the field where the carnival was sprung out 2 weeks prior.
