It is nearly one o'clock in the morning, but someone is calling you. Five times the phone rings. Six rings. Seven rings. Eight. Reluctantly, you finally answer, worried it might be an emergency.
It is not.
"YOU DON'T KNOW IT, BUT YOU'RE ON... THE CARNEY SHOW! Dun-dun-na-nahhhh..." screams some unfamiliar, sinister character.
You try to hang up, but the phone won't disconnect. You can hear laughter, a whole group of people laughing, insane laughter, unceasing. You try to put the phone back on the hook, but it flies right back off. Even the volume seems turned up, and you cannot turn it down. It just gets louder!
You are forced to listen as some creeps talk about appalling things, things that you want to shut out, but cannot. You cry, and you cry, but they just laugh at you even more.
