Just as your prize drops into the chute, you find yourself eagerly grabbing it. Your prize is.......
A pair of wings.
‘That’s it?’ You think, slightly disappointed. But what about all the other cool prizes in the crane game? Weren’t you reaching for something else anyway?
Glancing down at the wings, you notice a label that hadn’t appeared to be there before.
Surprised you begin to read it;
“WARNING: MACHINE COTAINS OBJECTS THAT MATCH THE PERSON WHO PLAYED. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT THESE OBJECTS BE GIVEN TO ANYONE BUT THE WINNER!”
Strange.
So did this mean the falcon wings were specifically for you?
You decide to put the wings in your pocket for later. Perhaps a friend will be interested in them.
With this thought, you continue walking around the fair grounds, not noticing the slight tingling beginning to start on your back...
•••
A little while later, you come to a halt at a row of carnival games. Some of which interest you and some of which don’t.
There’s a fortune wheel,
a pin the tail on the donkey,
pop the balloons,
and various others.
Perhaps another prize would make up for the one you already have.
Choosing one at random, you stop at ‘pop the balloons’.
The prizes don’t seem that bad, and you’ve had some practice with darts before.
Taking out a dollar, you appsently begin throwing darts at the board.
*Pop!*
Miss
*Pop!*
*Pop!*
*Ding!*
Having piped three balloons, the manager of the game motions for you to pick your prize.
Suddenly, the tingling worsens, making you finally notice it. But you shrug it off. Maybe a bug landed on you or something.
Choosing a stuffed cheetah, you continue browsing the games.
Another one catches your eye.
The fortune wheel.
Taking out another dollar, you hand it over, and spin the wheel.
*dunk, dunk, dunk—*
The wheel lands on...
