''DO NOT ENTER'' Warning! Not For Kids

‘’DO NOT ENTER’’

I was usually the type to stay out of trouble and away from danger but Jim on the other hand, was rebellious type. Usually a long time friend can pursue you into doing pretty much anything, and Jim was the master when it came to that.

Jim and I had been friends since we were two years young, now a decade has passed and we’ve stuck by each other’s side ever since then. We sent on adventures just about every day. Sometimes they got us into trouble but for the most part, Jim respected and understood my ‘’play it safe’’ way of life. But for some reason, I could care less that day. It was as though something possessed me into doing something wrong just for the thrill of it.

We had been walking home from school together when Jim and I passed up a very dark and unfamiliar-looking carnival. That day seemed to have been the brightest day of the year but ironically enough, from the carnival on there were nothing but great skies. Jim hesitantly followed as I walked over to the entrance. A generic ‘’DO NOT ENTER’’ sign that ran across the entrance was being held up by a rusty chain fell to pieces once I tapped the sign.

‘’Whadd’ya say we check it out?’’ I asked as I turned towards  Jim.

Something  very seemed eerie about moment. Jim’s face was awfully pale he seemed to be sweating bullets.

‘’Hey man, we’d better not. I don’t like the vibe I’m getting off this place.’’ He said in an extremely frightened tone.

Jim proceeded to walk away but something made me grab his arm and pull him back.

‘’Aw c’mon, we haven’t had a good adventure in a while. Where’s your excitement at? It’s not like anything bad is gonna happen, I’m here.’’ I continued to try and pursued my reluctant friend with a very promising smile as he would usually do to me.

After a while, he finally gave in and we enter the shady carnival. It was unlike entrance I’d ever seen. It seemed to be some sort of labyrinth that lead to nowhere. The walls were lofty, dried up bushes filled with an infinite amount of thorns that were impossible to brake through. Jim just silently followed without looking back as we began our new adventure. Suddenly, after the first turn in, Jim and I felt dark presence that we followed like robots turn by turn.

The leave suddenly began to grow darker with each turn until they were black. The faint smell of something burning began to take over and by the next five turns, it was unbearable. I had never smell burning flesh but I assumed that was what we smelled.

The ground felt as though it were going to break right under us if we stepped just a little harder. The temperature began to change as Jim and I stood still. It grew so intensely hot that we became nearly dehydrated almost instantly.

‘’I-I think we should turn around.’’ Jim said in a frightened and shaky voice. He looked as though his soul was leaving his body at that very moment.

‘’Uh good idea’’ I agreed but as we turned around, we noticed that our path had been blocked by a wall of barely out thorns that we couldn’t even see the top of. We had no choice but to walk further.

I didn’t think it was possible but the smell of burning flesh had grown so strong that without even thinking about it, I vomited due to the fact that I could taste the smell. Suddenly, a soft roar started escalating until I couldn’t make out what Jim was trying to tell me. The sound seemed to be made up of a million screams that shot a knife of terror through my heart which made me take off running out of instinct. Without looking back I kept running, hoping to whatever god was out there that Jim was right behind me.

I felt as though I had been running for hours until the smell had die down as well as the horrible screams. I couldn’t hear footsteps behind so I panicked and looked around for Jim. All that was behind me was that damn wall, mocking me. Again, I had no choice but to kept walking.
