With her finals out of the way, Colette looked forward to some rest and relaxation. Her semester at community college had just ended and the weather was nice. In a sense of victory, the teenager went for a relaxing ride and ended up getting ice cream -- chocolate soft-served custard with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles.

One of her favorites.

Driving back, she noticed the lights and signs. A carnival. That could be fun. True, she had seen it on her drive and had saw the signs, but it didn't exactly seem to be her forte. She hated rides and funhouses, but she wasn't too bad at games. Maybe she could actually win something. Deciding to give it a chance, she parked across the opposite side of the road and began to walk across towards the lights and cheery music slowly descending into the atmospheric wonderland.
