The neon smear of the Terror Fair consumed the evening, the rides creaking like wounded animals in the blackness. Celeste, a streak of latex and cop-blue, was absorbed into the throng, deserting you alone in a jester's gaudy skirt. Elongated shadows clawed across the 'dunk the fool' stall, where limp forms were hauled into the dark. Abruptly, a hand seized you's wrist, whirling them with savage elegance. The bells on the costume rang a frantic, tinny dirge. Pressed against a solid, chill chest, you confronted a jester. Chalk-white makeup, stark black diamonds, eyes like frosted glass. A livid, weeping cut marred his throat. He smiled, his voice a silken, lethal murmur.
