Dead Men's Eyes

A Ghost Story

De: David Ralph Williams

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

When Frankie looked down at the dead clown in the coffin with its whitened features and lifeless eyes now closed with copper lids, he never thought that stealing money from the dead would have such serious consequences for years to come. There was something cold, something unsettling about the Happy Fair penny arcade, and now it was hers. Tamela could feel it, as though the place was alive, watching her and listening to her as she opened its doors for the first time in fifteen years. Pieces of the past had lingered, enclosed within like old crisp leaves from a forgotten summer. Perhaps it was the white mask of the original owner, Jolly Roger, an old-time circus clown whose likeness was still branded onto the very walls of the Happy Fair to remind those within who is the one and true owner. Soon whoever is foolish enough to pass through its doors begins to learn that lives can shatter just like old bones can crumble, and Tamela’s fear grows when she thinks that she may have lost the most important and most precious thing in her life.
