Into the Mirror

The police are at the carnival. Investigators are there with dogs sniffing around the carnival grounds as carnies are disassembling rides and loading them up into their trucks. As the House of Mirrors was being taken apart and the mirrors loaded on trucks, the police asked to see the inventory of the mirrors.

“It’s all here, sir; none of our mirrors are broken.” One of the carnies informs the detective. They take a look at the stock and see that all the mirrors are accounted for and intact. The police question the carnies, ask about a clown with twisted teeth and the Haunted Hayride.

“No sir, no such man works on here premise. We don’t have no haunted hayride as an attraction.” Another carnie informs the police. None of them seem to know anything about a Haunted Hayride, a deranged clown with twisted teeth or any attempted murder in the House of Mirrors. The police shut down the disassembly work at the carnival to bring all the workers to the station for questioning while they try to unscramble the mess and get to the truth. As each carnie leave the carnival grounds to head to the police station, a cold shrill laugh is heard through the air; as the man with the twisted teeth drives away with a truck full of broken mirrors.
