What’s Behind the Curtain?

At the street fair, there was this little setup off to the side. Black curtain, faint music. No signs except one that said “18+ Only.” Naturally, people got curious.

A dimly lit view from an audience, looking toward a stage where a thick black curtain is slightly open, revealing part of a large mechanical ride in spotlight and haze.

Someone peeked behind it. I just heard, “Oh my god you guys have to see this.” Word spread. People formed a line—not because it was promoted, just because it was weird and unexpected.

It turned out to be this insane novelty ride. Wild, hilarious, and somehow totally normal once you saw it. Most didn’t ride—but they didn’t stop smiling either.
