Dan has drifted apart from his friends over the past few months since the incident over the summer.

# data[].attributes.body
Dan went to the circus by himself one afternoon and went to Dr. Maudire a hypnotist and psychic. The tent was very dark and creepy with everything inside it matching the odd color scheme. There were a few empty bird cages and other things laying around. when he entered, all sounds from outside went silent, and Dr. Maudire appeared. His words confused Dan, yet they sent a message into his mind. this new character might play a bigger part in the story later on, but Dan now has a new relationship with someone he knows nothing about.

A mirror for me is how the main characters went to explore an abandoned house. It looked like it was from the Victorian era. The windows were boarded up and it was falling apart. They sneaked into the house and searched for anything that could be useful. When I was younger I used to explore a forest that connected to my back yard. Me and My older brother and I would find weird artifacts in there. We built little houses out of logs with the help of our older neighbors.
