STORY STARTER
Submitted by Evelyn Allen Vale
"Two go in, and one comes out" is the start to a dark nursery rhyme that everyone in the town knows.
Write a story which features this rhyme and its tale.
2 Go In At The Carnival 
The town of Salem was having a carnival
We went to check it out
Many rides flew very high
feeling like you could touch the.sky!
We stopped to get some funnel cake
Told the kids
just one to take
They wanted tickets for the Haunted House
Let’s first take a picture with Minny Mouse🐭
Patiently waiting
to go inside
Finally, it came the time!
Waiting so long, on that line
Or at least it felt that way
The kids went in the Haunted house
I hope they don’t see a little mouse!!
I heard them scream, heard the laughter
Where can I go and take them after?
Wanted them to have fun today
While their parents were away!
The ride was over, but I didn’t see
Where those kids could possibly be?
I yelled and screamed and called their name
But my response was still the same
Suddenly, I began to cry
As you know, the reason why!
I yelled furiously with a shout!
Two go in, one comes out!
I asked the son, where’s your sister?
She was here,
must have missed her
Heard my heart beats in my ear
What did she disappear?
My mind was in a hither
For I am just the baby sitter!
The boss came over, said follow me
There is something, I want you to see!
Is this the child you’re looking for?
I found her near the magic door!
This town knows what it’s all about
Two go in and one comes out
Why is it this way?
Cause once you enter
You have to stay!!
One way in and no way out
Is what this ride is all about!
