A normal day at the park until Dex noticed that there was a fair going on. It had a couple of small rides and a few prize-winning games. All Dex wanted to do was ride the carousel. Then the horror show began as he was about to get on. The horses on a carousel turned alive. Dex touched one and as it turned from stone to bone and flesh it went wild in pain from the stick it was still attached to. And one by one the other horses became alive. All the horses were going wild trying to get away but were unable to get anywhere. Blood splashing everywhere and so much screaming. Screaming from the parents and the children that were falling off them. Parents grabbing their children and running away. Dex couldn’t move. He wanted it to stop. He needed to help the horses somehow. Dex knew it was all his fault, but he had no clue where he had gone wrong. Maybe he was born cursed. This kind of thing never happened before. Usually, the living would die by his touch.
