Summary: A circus with pitch black tents rolls into the city for two nights only. There is no record of its existence or of the people who run it, but when it disappears, ordinary citizens disappear along with it. Enter, Baekhyun Byun, a Federal Agent with everything to prove by following his instincts. But when he chases the truth he discovers with horror that everything in this world is not as it seems - sometimes the truth is more terrible than the lie.
Author's Note: I just want to really thank all of the mods for putting up with me and my one thousand extensions I asked for, should they choose to actually let this fic into the fest, haha. This is my first time writing off a prompt and entering a fest, so I want to thank you all for dropping by to give it a read. I’ve always loved fantasy and horror but I’ve never really given it the good ol’ College Try, so I really wanted to challenge myself by selecting a very ‘different’ prompt. Anyways, please don’t be intimidated that this fic was written mainly from Baekhyun’s perspective - I made a conscious choice to write in first person so that horrors would seem more intuitive and real. SO, thank you lots and lots and I hope you enjoy!
(In the summer of 1983 I unwittingly stumbled upon a terrible secret...)
