"Gentlemen," the tour guide says pointing with a bamboo cane, "You can see on the left our own Pleasure Island Carnival wagons and tents arranged next to a midway with roller coaster and ferris wheel. The carnival features a house of mirrors, a genuine freak show, and more! If anyone wants to see the free carnival, you can get off now."
The surfer dude gets off and you decide to join him. You get off the bus and walk around the donkeys to go to the carnival. It's odd the donkeys seem to look oddly unhappy. You know you wouldn't want to pull a wagon all day in the hot sun.
The surfer dude buys a ticket to the freak show, so you get one too, and follow him into tent.
The first exhibit is a bearded lady.
The next is a tattooed man.
You comment to the surfer dude that it's all rather pedestrian.
He smiles at you, and says, "Did you read the brochure? They claim to have a real lobster boy, alligator man, snakemen, and more."
"More? Yeah, it says they're constantly adding new exhibits," he says handing you the glossy brochure.
"You're really into freaks?" You ask casually.
"No, but the lobster boy in the photo looks a lot like my bro who disappeared about a year ago." He points to the photo in the brochure of a what looks like a lobster with a human head.
"You think it's him?" You ask uncertainly.
"Well, it sure looks like his face, but I don't about the rest. I'm hoping its a costume, but we'll find out soon enough."
We follow the black draped maze to see the strong man demonstrating his ability to lip. He's really muscular, and You sort of forget about the surfer and his missing brother.
You strike up a conversation with the muscle man.
