Yames looks up. He felt as if the entire carnival was staring into him. The man in the blue robe was there. Staring. Yames was now the freak. He was the man in the blue robe. He pushed through the crowd running as fast as he had ever run before. He was sweaty. It was winter. everyone was closing in around him. All he wants to do is escape this place. "I am the man in blue," he screams. In his haste he knocks into the carnivals fire breather. The carni stumbles and blows a ball of red fire into the food trailer causing a massive grease fire.
Chaos.
Yames wakes up in his bed. His sheets stuck to his body from his sweat. He notices that he is slightly sore, but he can think of no explanation why. He puts on some pants and makes his rounds to his neighbors doors to look for any forgotten news papers. He grabs on from the same neighbor that received Bonsai Weekly. He went back to his room, and sat down to the paper. On the front page was a story about a massive grease fire at the Watershed Heights Carnival. He thought for a while and wondered why there would be a Carnival in Watershed Heights. The story was accompanied by a picture of what looked like a savage man running through. He could not recognize the man any better than he could recognize anyone. He flipped through the rest of the paper, but nothing caught his attention. He had to get ready for work.
Work.
On his way home he sees a woman in blue. He feels a shutter down his spine. The woman looks excited to see him. She immediately walks over to him and says that what he did was amazing. He has no idea what she is talking about, but her blue hat is really beging to unnerve him. All he can think about when he sees it is that guy down at the park who wears a blues robe, and pretends he is a wizard.
