My eyes flutter open, I stare at a black abyss above me. I glance around to see if I notice anything somewhat familiar.

I slowly stand up and again my footing. I look around at this mysterious yet ominous place that had a certain vibe to it.

I looked down at my outfit then touch my head where a flower crown sat.

My head feels fuzzy, I can't remember much of anything. I can't temper what I did last or how I even ended up here.

I walk around to see if I can find anything or anyone that can help me out.

I walk towards a red metal box that had a envelop with my name on it with a switchblade beside it.

I grab the envelope then reach for the switchblade and pull out the blade. I use the blade to open the envelope and pull out the content that's inside.

It's a note and a ticket. I read the note closely. "Love can leave you empty, love can make you whole. Love can make or break you. Love is in your soul."

I furrowed my eyebrows at the note then turn my attention to the red ticket before a sound goes off cause me to jump slightly and frantically look around.

Music blasts out of a speaker cause my to cover my ears but the music still leaks through and into my ears.

Run little blind mice🎵
Scurry down the trail🎵
Chop goes the farmer's knife🎵

At bedtime tales and fable🎵
For your greedy hearts🎵
Some have razors🎵
Some have keys🎵
How they end depend on how you play your part🎵
Unfortunately how you played your part🎵
Has got you here🎵

Sing a song of six pence🎵
A pocket for our king🎵
Sire let me hold the reins🎵
While you pluck your fiddle strings🎵

Keep your hands and arms and legs and head🎵
About you at all times🎵
Use discretion🎵
Stay alert🎵
And pick the pace up, tortoise🎵
As a gate smacks your behind🎵
Welcome to eternity🎵
Now eat your just desserts🎵

You're in the devil's carnival🎵
You can't help but fall🎵

You can't help but fall 🎵
The Devil's Carnival 🎵

I uncover my ears at the music finally stops. I gather my bearings and start to wander around, looking for some help.
