GAGE
Glendale.
That’s the name of this shithole town we’re setting up in. The
carnival has arrived five days before Halloween. I’m putting up tents
and hauling equipment. The physical labor keeps my body busy, but my
mind… it’s a fucking circus in there.
Thoughts swirl like a depraved merry-go-round. Violent urges gnaw at
me, and voices whisper temptations in my ear. I try to focus on the task, but
the darkness creeps in, seeping through the cracks of my fractured psyche.
I watch the others’ work, oblivious to the monster in their midst. If only
they knew the things I’ve done, the lives I’ve taken. They’d run screaming,
but that’s half the fun, right? The thrill of the hunt, the rush of the kill.
My skull mask sits nearby, waiting patiently for its time to shine. It’s my
true face, the one that reflects the blackness within. I can almost feel it
calling to me, begging to be worn.
But I resist, for now. There’s work to be done, and I want to blend in.
Just another carnie, setting up shop in another forgettable town. They don’t
suspect a thing, these fools. They go about their lives, unaware of the
danger that lurks in the shadows.
Colt saunters toward me, his eyes widening as he takes in my unmasked
face. “Damn, Gage! Every time I see you without that creepy-ass mask, I
expect you to be hideous. But look at you, pretty boy!” He laughs, his voice
grating on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard.
I don’t respond, my lips pressed into a thin line. I stare at him, cold and
unblinking. He shifts uncomfortably, his laughter trailing into an awkward
cough.
Inside my head, thoughts swirl like a cyclone. Fucking idiot, I think, my
inner voice dripping with disdain. If you only knew the things I’ve done, the
blood I’ve spilled. You wouldn’t be standing there, cracking jokes like we’re
old pals.
I visualize grabbing his throat, my grip tightening around his windpipe,
depriving him of oxygen. The way his eyes would bulge, his face turning a
satisfying shade of purple. A flicker of excitement pulses through my veins,
but I push it down, burying it deep.
Colt clears his throat, his bravado faltering under my unwavering stare.
“Well, I just wanted to let you know that the boss needs you to help set up
the Ferris wheel. So, whenever you’re ready…” He trails off, his eyes
darting away from mine.
I give a curt nod, my jaw clenched tight. Colt takes that as his cue to
leave, scurrying away like a frightened rat. I watch him go, my lips curling
into a sneer.
One day, I think, my fingers itching to wrap around the handle of my
knife. One day, I’ll show you what true ugliness looks like.
I grab my mask and put it on before turning my attention to the Ferris
wheel. It looms in the distance, a towering behemoth of steel and lights.
Seeing it fills me with a strange anticipation.
