Tails of the Dark Circus
Murders and Mysteries Chapter one
It was sunny the love of his life was laying right beside him on the picnic blanket in the meadow. The sun painted her in an ethereal glow. Her hair a golden brown, her eyes a joyous green that seemed like something ancient and mythic just barely stirred deep within but none of that compared to her smile or her laugh a melodic tone of giggles
“ you are staring again “ she said with a smile
“ yeah well I think it’s natural to stare at my beautiful fiancé “
She laughed softly as she lifted herself closer and kissed him and Kay knew that he could stay there for eternity as they broke away he looked into her eyes again and realized that now they held such a melancholy that it hurt
“ Gwen what’s wrong? “
“ Kay my dearest love, you need to wake up your alarm is going off “
Kay woke up the feeling of falling having fully woken him up out of his dream and as he looked around his room with just him in it reality hit him. Gwendolyn Charnel his fiancé and Alice grimsburrow there best friend had disappeared over 6 years ago and the only trace of either of them was 4 liters of Alice’s blood and 1 of Gwen’s, Gwen’s headband and scraps of fabric from both of their clothes. Kay wanted to cry.
“ is the only place I will ever see you again my dreams pumpkin? “ Kay sighs and with that he gets up and goes about his day it’s only as he makes breakfast that he gets a call from Lorraine and Kay lets out a deep sigh as he answers the phone
“ sigh, hey Lorri. “
“ … you okay? Did you have another one of those dreams again? “
“ yeah, I am making breakfast do you want me to make you something for breakfast or lunch today? “
“ Lunch please. Oh hey I heard that there is a carnival coming to town soon and that they are setting up a permanent location maybe we can go there after work to help take your mind off of things. “
“ I don’t know Lorri it just doesn’t feel right “
“ Kay do you really think that Gwendolyn would want you to be sad especially after all this time? And I get that you don’t feel attracted to most folks in that way so I am not going to tell you that you need to put yourself out there again but like you get the sentiment right. “
“ …. Yeah, Sigh yeah you are right Lorri. Are you outside? “ Kay asked as he finished packing up the food
“ yup got the patrol car and just waiting on you and lunch “
