A seemingly normal yet mystical attic holds a secret unknown to many, a portal to another realm of an abandoned carnival. A curious young boy wanders into this attic and witnesses the attic that is filled with old trunks, forgotten relics and dusty books. Among the clutter, the boy spotted a peculiar, ornate box tucked away in a corner that yet stood out. It was decorated with vibrant colors that reminded of a circus.
Allured to approach and admire the wooden box, he stepped towards it. As he got closer to the box, a soft, enchanting yet eerie melody filled the air. The box started to hum and vibrate and without warning, it yanked the little boy inside, transporting him to a world he could have never imagined
In the blink of an eye, he found himself in the presence of a vibrant, otherworldly carnival. He stood in the midst of this abandoned space surrounded by the colorful tents with dim lights hung above. He roamed around the place witnessing the wreckage that surrounded him. He suspected that this abandonment of the carnival to have been recent. As the aftermath from some sorcery. Based on the wreckage it seemed that the people that last were here had tried to evacuate and escape, alternatively leaving the places in ruins.
As the boy wander about, he comes across a forbidden circus tent that been closed away by the metal gates. Intrigued and curious, he sneaks through the gates and as he stepped inside the circus tent, its entrance close behind him. He is greeted by a huge glowing clown head that is floating on a pedestal. Before he knew it, he was engulfed by a swirling vortex of light and sound, pulled into the very essence of the relic. With his sacrifice, released from a decade-long confinement, a strange man was transported back through the portal to the other realm with the mystical attic.
Unable to make sense of the situation but free to explore the world again, the man hastily stumbled across the room and out the door.
