“WHERE IS THE MERRY-GO-ROUND?” YOU MIGHT ASK.

The merry go around is gone away. The concession stands are filled with glue. A very small man throws packets of condiments at your shoes. He tells you, “It’s okay to be gay. Or short.”

You listen to him.

Ectal stands on the man’s shoulders. Both of them now seem more menacing, more… horrible.
