Chapter 1 Ephemeral Invitation

Carnival of Shadows
"Step right up... into darkness."
As Emma Lee, Logan Thompson, and Mason Kim entered the gates of
the dark and twisted carnival, the air became suffocatingly thick with
dread. The rides beckoned them forward, promising excitement and
wonder, but with each step they took, their fates were sealed - for the
carnival was not a place of joy and revelry, but a sinister trap, waiting to
claim its next victims.
