Walking down the dirt road, the girl looked around her. On one side was a dense forest that went on for who knows how long. On the other ran a textured brick wall that was about 8 feet high. She stared at it with curiosity, wondering what could be inside. Then she found out. The road still went on, but a large, wrought-iron gate stood in between the wall, still stretching on after the gate and beyond. She stopped because at the top of the gate, what looked like a metallic banner, said, 'CIRCUS', in capital, yet slightly curly letters. The teenager stared at this for a little while longer then approached the iron gate, which was slightly rusty from age. She put her hand on the cold metal and curled her slender fingers around one of the bars. She pushed gently and it opened, making an ominous creaking sound as it went. As soon as it was wide enough for her to go through, she stepped into the grounds of the circus and shut the gate behind her. When she gently set it back into it's original position, it clanged from the metal on metal. She turned and looked around at the circus before her.
There were several cabins off to the left and a wide, dirt clearing where the cabins enclosed. And right before the gate was a large, red circus tent. It had a white striped canopy and scarlet sides with a little flag on the top. There were flaps that evidently opened to lead inside of the circus, and there was light shining from within. The light cast shadows on the ground outside, but no movement came from inside. Her eyes lit upon the cabins and saw that there were lights inside a few of the cabins, and no one that she could see was standing around outside. She took a few steps and walked into the middle of the clearing. The cabins formed a circle around the dirt, and there, in the middle of the cabins in the back, was a great, huge cabin. It towered over the other cabins, though not by much, still showing much grandeur. It was much wider, and obviously had more room inside. Someone important lived there. Most likely the ringleader himself. Or maybe a prized actor / actress? She was curious, but didn't approach the large cabin.
