A Dark Tale For Lost Souls
No one knew where the sidehow came from. No one knew who was the first to find it, or when. All the people of Ironbark Town knew, was that those who ventured inside, rarely returned. The rules at its rotting gates spoke of choice... but the townsfolk had learned over the generations that there were more rules to this eerie place than those which were angrily carved across its gate.

An eerie tale of Thomas and Jenny's journey into the Sideshow to rescue their loved ones.
Carpenter has a talent for making the normal, the fun!, spooky - I'm going to have doubts next time I'm at a fair or anything similar to this sideshow!
The reader is cleverly led into the Sideshow, curious as to what is happening and how this will end... and it's a good one!

This story is a slow burn of creepy tale. The rumors around town of the Sideshow whirled around. Captivating people from all around. Do you dare visit or walk on by? A great short story and I recommend reading it.
