Festivities

"Do you think Pryor's fine?" Gab ask, looking inside the bus where the latter don't even move an inch. He look like seeing some sort of bizzare entities, though Gab warn beforehand the bizzareness of this place. Yet I don't believe my mind to even think he wasn't at all fine, that something...much more bothering than the bizzare that Gab knows.

"Yeah?" I nodded, abandon the idea that resurfacing. Yet I can't let go my eyes fom him, especially in his forevead, there's blood flowing from the cut cause of his metal bumping. But other than that, he look fine, and I can't be certain if he intentionally hit his head to the metal pole or something?

Other than Gab, no one pay attention to him anymore. That's when I realize what this bizzare that Gab proudly said. He said it was Halloween Festivities, so I should expect much more scary thing. Was it tricks and treats that he mention?

Weird. It only daze me and I felt like the worst coming over. Gab resume for excitement to the goings on, so I didn't said a thing and just let him grab me around. We greeted by some sort of spooky sound just as the sun goes down, the creepy yellow dark shadow fill the ground, fully envelop the town.

"Is that a pumpkin?" Gab gasp, a giant pumpkin was dribble back and forth to the ground just as the dimlight illuminated. Inside the pumpkin, there atleast 20 room, and I think there people screaming.

It isn't that funny yet the crowd laugh to their heart content. Gab grab my hand and the projected being lurking around, screaming distinctly with bizzare fashion.

"Are you bored?" Gab when he notice my silence. He eyed me the same way he does a year ago.

"It's okay," I try to smile to other stuff around, yet my mind going back to the bus. There something in there that I don't fully understand.

Especially the way that...man behave. The way he fully awake yet bumping his head now and then, only to scare everyone around.

"If you're bored let me know," he said, tapping my shoulder that suddenly tense. He feel it and I can see the worry that he able to hide. "I know you don't like the stuff like this, and it's selfish for me to ask you to do the thing you don't really fond about. But you know," he determine, try to be optimistic, "you can try to immerse and make yourself feel belong!"

I nodded slowly. "No worries-" the pumpkin burst into a fragment that I stop, look around with widest eyed.

"Wasn't it..." Looking around, there's no way there's an accident or something. Everyone laugh which accompany by the cry of the projected being that I never notice been lurking around.

I look away with my heart boom to no end, realize there's no one inside the giant pumpkin... No casualties to worry about!

My mind spin though, didn't make sense what I saw earlier. I excuse myself from Gab before I even throw up to idea that lurking about. I know he's enjoying himself so I try my best to look as if I can be fine on my own.

"See? I'll be alright!"

"You sure?" There suspicious in his voice, yet can only sigh and admire how I am independent despite the crowd.

Sure he thought I live with the ghost of the past. I can only smile, hide the bitterness. "Hm," I nodded, step-back and wave my hand. "I'll search for you later?"

There waiting for him in the distant, look like his friends so he doesn't initiates anymore before I distant myself from the crowd.

The moment I feel comfortable I look back, it suddenly hit me the fact of who those people are.

"Do I know them?"

They are with us in the bus, actually the loudest earlier talking about the worst semester ever that just ends.

And here I am hardly wonder before they disappear to the crowd. Why Gab not introduce me to his friends?

I feel the stab in my heart with the Ideas that I hardly accept...yet the truth, it wrecking my heart so deep I can only gasp for air. I shaken, goes so far to run away from the loudest cry of the crowd when I able to find the strength. Naturally there new sight to be hold that determine the participation of the crowd, and some enter a bizzare stadium that entrance looks like a mouth of a bizzare wild. It so cary, with the spooky sound fill the area, it only add to my impression of them quite unusual, especially when this all sounds fun for them.

The weirdest taste!

I felt bad for myself upon the thought of that, realize the world change and the people therein. It's kind of feeling that I can't help but thought of that place again... Yet I try my best to never comeback!

"I promise to Gab," my voice shaky as I said. "He will worry sick for sure if I disappear once again. I have...to never think of that place again!"

The more I hate, the more it fill me. Suddenly I feel like everyone laughing to my foolishness and ignorance. I gasp, the laughter fill my head, as if they were coming from the deepest of the ground.

"No..." I stumble upon the people, they were glaring before I even express my apology. I felt the cut as I landed, my hand felt numb to the impact, yet I am anxious to even bother.

"What's wrong with him?" I hear their deepest and bizzare voice, it become louder and louder. "Wait. I know him!"

"He's the boy from that...that place!" I ignore them, yet I panting to what I hear. The way they deeply bother to say the name of the place only gives me one thing to cry on.

So what's their problem to that place?!

I never been curious this way, never ever have been peek my interest like this before, not even when I stumble upon the memory that slowly resurfacing!

Yet I ran away, only to realize the direction I'm pulling myself in. The crowd have never been this intimidating, yet their cry stabbed deeply. However their attention not on me, someone from behind me blows air to my ears.

"Relax," the voice was those of a bizzare projection, yet they felt real. Before I freak out, the freezing hand grab mine, he even tells me to quiet, or else...

I gulp, realize I'm being exaggerated. The crowd actually behave like everything's normal. Hovering behind them was those bizzare projection, hunting them down.

And they are laughing like mad!

"Are you new?" I hear him ask, yet he sounds as if didn't even know this kind of thing. He look just like me, though he able to suppress, I can tell he is somehow weirded out.

"Aren't...you?" I find myself eyeing the wound in his forehead, realize who this person even is. Gab mention the name earlier, yet I fail to remember. I still felt my heart boom and it wasn't good as he eyed me as if I was kind of strange...more than him.

"Let's get out of here," he said, though I can feel he just trying to avoid the question. I kind of understand it, I am like him...hate this weird stuff that suddenly fill the world.

Or am I so immerse to the memory that I find myself distancing so far from the changing world?

That's actually...no possible.

Unlike me, the man who bang his forehead to the metal pole earlier knows so well the every part of the Town. Thing that I fail to do so earlier and only stumble upon more crowd.

This time, the place so silence, away from the sulking noise that come and forth like widefire. I notice he didn't say anything until we reach a bench, and I don't know what to do with the wound in his forehead. The blood actually dried out and I don't know if that's a good thing.

"Are you...alright?" He look at me as if I said a stupid question. "I mean..." I pointed out his forehead and he only look at me intently, it making me weak that I can only look away.

Just as I find the strength to said he's wounded, the world slowing down as the winds blows the hard way. He shock to witness his polo torn away, exposing his milk skin...and the bruise so bizzare that I fell to the highest of heaven.

It as if I descend to that time...and saw everyone slash their skin for forgiveness...pray for the diety above the famine will go away.
