If only the young travelers knew that it wasn't a vacation because once you go into Garvish you can never go out. People began to go into a panic once they found out this terrible secret as Percy and Gerald became business partners they realized they needed something to entice more people to come and live in Garvish They came up with a grand Carnival Idea that would happen every year on July 4th just before the youngsters would travel off to school People who were unaware of the whole trap situation went to Garvish just for the carnivals. Suddenly the steady flow of people stopped when the rate of suicide was drastically high. Something that had been promised to happen but Gerald nor Percy ever believed it. darkness covered the city you could only see it if you were truly trapped in the well of demise. A blood-thirsty well that ate up the souls of the feeble and tenacious people of Garvish. The only way you can survive this ghastly expiry is to become an assiduous person. Assiduous people scuffle down below because Assiduous people are the only survivors.

One month before the Garvish carnival Beneatha finally released the truth to Percy as they both sat down at their more than the dirty kitchen counter. "Percy, I'm not pregnant." "you had a miscarriage!" "no Percy, I was never pregnant." he covers his face with his hands before moving to the living room couch to ponder this new thought "why would you lie to me Beneatha?" "I thought that if I was pregnant I wouldn't have to go on this stupid journey with you and your cousin but I was clearly wrong." "Why couldn't you have told me this the year we left?" "I'm

sorry hon'" she moves over to comfort him but he shews her away "I really wanted a child Beneatha!" he stands up and leaves the flat corley. Before she could apologize anyfurther. She becomes upset with herself as she begins to sob harshly whilst sitting on the couch. Suddenly like a spark on a match rage fled within her. Glass lamps, plates, and glasses were thrashed onto the floor screams of pain and fear are let out sporadically through this tantrum. Once breaking everything in the flat that was glass she laid in the corner of the living room stunned at what she had done. Percy is going to kill me. She realizes as she gazes at his great-grandmother's vase that were in millions of pieces on the floor. She began to sob once more before a shadow encases her in its dark abyss. Sharp red glowing eyes pierce her stomach while she screams in pain as if a laser had cut through her organs and out her back. Falling down deep onto the hard cement floor. She gazes at a sharp bloody smile gazing back at her. Blood begins to seep through the walls and finally drowning her to death. The Police say it was suicide as there was a large shard of glass in her stomach with her hand grappling the tip. Despite the fact that Percy found his wife unconscious in the corner of their flat. He was apathetic about it. Not because he was still mad about his wife lying, he wasn't his normal self. And hadn't been for a while. When the bodies of feeble and tenacious people die the oppressed souls are released they create replicas of these bodies as if nothing had ever happened. But replicas can only be made if the dead bodies are never found by another human who hasn't been replaced yet. Like Percy. The replaced bodies take on their old personalities characteristics when they need to be sad or mad but ninety percent of the time they are happy because when the souls lived in the bodies of these strong-minded and weak people they were never allowed to be happy. Although the replaced bodies seem like robots as they walk along the streets smiling the real robots are assiduous people because they are forcing themselves to assimilate to stay sane.
