Carnival Of Sin – 1

XP’S NOTES ON “CARNIVAL OF SIN” 

This is a story I began in March 2011 and I misplaced the draft until only recently. Coincidently, I had been watching the television show “Carnivale” and loved the dark brooding mood it created — especially the demon preacher and his evil sister. I wanted to create the feeling of a creepy, wicked, and most importantly, evil circus of various grotesqueries, with acts dubious deliberately intended to bring out the worst in its audience with carnal sexuality as the key motivator leading them towards sin, fornication, perversion, and of course, devil worship. Also, I wanted to pay honage “American Horror Story: Freak Show” that I enjoyed and was inspired by.

SYNOPSIS OF “CARNIVAL OF SIN”

The Carnival has arrived. It’s already long past midnight. Halloween is about to begin. Silhouetted against the low full moon, the Big Top looms across the town fringe. Various grotesqueries lay awaiting those brave enough to venture. A thick fog blurs the glow from the gaudy funfair illuminations against the distinctive outline of the old ferris wheel and squalid sideshows. The wind is still and the all-to-familiar organ-grinding sounds of the amusement park echoe eerily in the early autumn air. The fairground emits its sickly-sweet, candy flossing — offering of cheap thrills. But, beneath is an undertone of something gross, sordid, and distasteful. At the gateway, they gather impatiently outside the main entrance to the candy-striped Big Top — while the tattered billboard announces that they have arrived at the “Carnival of Sin”.
