I really wanted to love the carnival.The hot August night was filled with bright lights and excitement so thick Icould feel it on my skin. Not that I’d walk around with any skin showing. Noway. I was dressed, as usual, in long sleeves, an ankle length skirt overtights and even thin gloves that reached up past my elbows. Didn’t matter thatit was still above eighty degrees even after sunset.

Tonight, the moon was full and the starscompletely hidden thanks to the overbright halogen lighting spaced evenlyaround the grassy parking area next to the high school ballfield. During thecarnival the parking area held all the stalls, games and rides. Actual parkingfor the vehicles was relegated to the wide berm beside the two-lane road.

I swallowed down the fear and forcedmyself to come to this local carnival every year or at least for the last fivethat I’d lived in the area. It was small, but a big event for my tiny littletown, big enough to draw visitors from as much as an hour away. Big enough thatno one would recognize me, or worse, expect me to be social in any way.
