You almost skip the merry-go-round - they are usually for little kids. Except that this one looks incredible! Instead of brightly painted ponies with sappy smiles and flowers, this ride has life-sized black warhorses with eerie red eyes. Amazed, you approach the deserted ride and examine one of the animals. It is amazingly lifelike - this one is a mare, anatomically correct in every way. The stallions are also obviously complete.
Curious, you climb up on the statue's back using the step-stool provided. After all, no one is around. But as soon as you get seated, one of your tickets vanishes, and the merry-go-round lurches into motion!
Startled, you look for the operator as the horse under you begins to move up and down. The booth is still empty. OK, you'll go for a ride, then. The booth passes by again, and again, and... You blink. This merry-go-round is moving awfully fast. Centrifical force is starting to pull at you, and you leaned down to hang onto the animals' neck.
"Hey! Slow this thing down!" You yell, but there is no one to hear you. Faster and faster, everything is a blur now. You are afraid to let go, certain you will be flung off! You feel hot and sweaty, and a strange pulsing has started in the ride. Is it breaking apart?
The wind is pulling at your clothes and your hair - it feels like you are moving a hundred miles an hour! Suddenly, you feel your shirt sleeves flapping, followed by a sudden chill as the whole thing is ripped from your body! After a moment, the same thing happens with your jeans. You gasp, feeling the blast of wind on your now-naked body.
The ride finally starts to slow down, and you try to shift position. But you can't lift your arms or legs from the statue! In fact, as you shift your eyes down, you see that they have merged into the plastic! You try to scream, but no sound emerges from your mouth - your chest is halfway sunken into the plastic back, and even your face has attached itself to the statue's neck!
You struggle to free yourself, but find that you are rapidly sinking into the surface. It feels as if you are being swallowed by thick, warm ooze. Silent screams and wide horrified eyes are all that remain as you slip inside and everything goes black.
