Circus of the Dawn
Voices whisper amongst the shadows, talking about the nightlife among the tents. Fanciful stories brought to life by youthful innocence and ignorant zeal. Who could believe the stories? The jugglers never miss, the tight rope walkers never stumble. The magician is a true master of illusion, while the strong man carries all over his broad shoulders. There is a fortuneteller who knows not only your future, but your past as well, and when she sings the soul weeps. They say the Circus is lost things, forgotten things. Who can believe it? And the worst of it, the most unbelievable of all, the ring leader himself…
Two characters set off one night to bring some excitement into their lives. Their lives are typical, uneventful, except for those concerns and cares we all face everyday. They want free of their selves for a night, as we all have at one point or another. They come to Mary's Diner, a small, out of the way diner in Alavance, GA, a small town a few hours drive from their hometown, only to discover from the owner there is a carnival in town. The Circus of the Dawn.
Interested, they decided to check it out. At first, they enjoyed it, lived up the nightlife. From the Ferris wheel, the world seemed so far away, their problems so insignificant. Before they knew it, it was time to leave, the circus was closing… dawn was coming.
Trapped in a nightmare, now they long to escape, but is it too late? Can they find a way out, or does the ring master have a few new souls to add to his collection.
