'Have you seen this boy?' Bob Spacer shows the picture to his partner. 'Thats him huh?, I thought he'd be older.' 'Lets get this picture out there.' Bob replied and stepped on the accelerator pedal. The police car hit the highway.
A stranger approached the letterbox at the end of a road in Selina. She opened the box and found a letter inside. It had the name Aerial Orchid written in black ink. It had the words 'Meet me at the carousel when the sun and moon are side by side.' printed on the inside. There was only one carousel in town, and that was at the carnival. Emelia was wearing a black dress, with long black hair and small round ears. She had dark eye shadow on which made her brown eyes seem almost black.
She rode her horse to the carnival. It was only early yet, the sun would not rise for another hour.
'Sorry, were closed.' Said a carny to Emelia. She turn around and walked the other way. She sat down in the dust-filled path and looked at her watch. She pushed the minute hand around until it was an hour later. The sun rose rapidly. Then she entered the carnival. She made her way to the carousel and waited. 'The sun and moon side by side.' She remembered. Was it impossible? She had never seen it before but that time would have to come.
