Circus of souls
#Ink03 — Balloon
(post 2/2) (All of sudden you realize you are being watched) - Nah, I don’t know where Jack is. Ask his mom?
- I don’t lie. Please stop yelling at me.
- Can I see my mom?
- Please… (No more words, just soft crying. The feeling of being watched grows.) - Yes. I am ok. You can ask.
- What do you mean black balloons falling from the sky? That must be freaking cool! But we barely had money for one? How could we make it?
- Mr Officer, can you bring the doctor to this man? I am out of here! He claims our magic made black balloons falling from the sky. Millions of them!?! And they all had Jack’s face! (Kids laughter. You start to shiver) - Mr Officer?
- Can I see my mum?
Post Scriptum:
Balloon seller: The girl/woman has completely empty eyes. And a smile that does not come out of her face. Her black balloons seem to be quite popular among circus guests, as you can spot them everywhere. If you ask around, a lot of people would claim the face painted on the balloon constantly watches them. And after a second they seem to forget about what they just said. How cool is that?
