Shawn Withers
The Lone Survivor
Aboard the Alura Circus Ship
The walk to the hangar that had been transformed into a pit with seats and a ring. Many flowed in. Young and Old. Thugs and raking officials. Each one came with something in mind. To see feats of strength, grace, dexterity, and pure skill. I snuck in with a group. I wanted to see how these people worked, and maybe hitch a ride out of here. Might as well enjoy the show while I could. I moved to a seat. Letting myself be in the middle of the crowd. Sure, it may have not been the best place to be, but it kept me from getting chosen out of the people to come up front. I really did not want to do that.
Watching as the bright lights played along the walls and the floor. Browsing over the crowd. I could see kids and families laugh and play. Taking about work, how excited they are, What they wanted for their birthday. It killed me. I wanted to end it. When the lights started to dim. The playing flood lights moved even faster. Playing about letting everybody know that the show was about to start.
Oh god. What was going to happen now.
