Runaway Carnival

An ear splitting scream fills the air

The only emotional detection I sense is fear

I see a child running to the center of a field

I call out, but she cannot hear

Running after her I trip and fall

I try and get back up again but my vision is not clear

She has blood trailing down her face

She stands there looking at me in tears

I cannot move I’m paralyzed

She reaches out to help, but then disappears
