The Funhouse
“He was eager to become a carny and leave Royal City behind forever, but it seemed to him that the time for his escape would come only after his mother had murdered him in his bed.
There wasn’t anyone around to help make the time pass more quickly. He avoided Mama, of course. Daddy was, as always, preoccupied with his law practice and his railroad models. Tommy Culp, Joey’s best friend from school, was away on vacation with his family.
Even Amy was hardly ever around these days. She work...ed at The Dive every day but Sunday. And during the past week she had been out every night, dating some guy named Buzz. Joey didn’t know what Buzz’s last name was. Maybe it was Saw.
Joey hadn’t intended to go to the fairgrounds until Saturday, the last day, so that no one would figure out where he had gone until the carnival was far, far away in another state. But by the time Monday, June 30, rolled around, he was so keyed up that he couldn’t keep his resolve.MoreLess
