@ornithologicallysound sent the ask: our muses get stuck at the top of the ferris wheel together
As soon as the Ferris Wheel stopped, Richie started rocking back and forth. He didnât even process the shouts of the operator up at the riders as he stared out across the fair ground. âItâs kinda crazy isnât it? This is usually just some empty field for cows to shit in, but now, itâs like a magic wonderland,â he mused, staring down at all the lights, the music only a faint hum at this distance.Â
He turned to Stan, fully anticipating for him to be almost as annoyed at the guy on the ground. âWhat dâya think Stanny? Does it make you feel like you can fly?â He knew his friend had a weird hard-on for birds, maybe that was why he suggested the ride.
     Being stuck up in the air wouldnât have been half as bad if they hadnât also been swinging back and forth in the little Ferris Wheel capsule courtesy of Richie. Â
âThere are still some cows over there,â Stan pointed just beyond the glow of the fairground lights, keeping one hand clenched around the bar holding them in their seats.Â
     He tried not to look too annoyed--after all he had been the one whoâd suggested the Ferris Wheel. Â
âIt pains me to say this, but I think you were right. We should have gone to get a funnel cake first.â Stan tried to muster up a smile that ended up looking more like a grimace. Â
âAnd I donât know about flying, but I think one of us might get flung out of this thing if you donât stop rocking it.â Both of his hands were clutching the bar now, knuckles white.
