Today's #flashfiction The Cyberspace Carnival

“What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?”
The Terminator* #quote

For the sake of trying to figure out when I can go to social events without being contagious I used the magic of the Internet and the majority of sites say that it's 5-7 days after the illness has subsided. I think I'm pretty much at the tail end of it so I think in that period I'll be fine to go out and not spread this. Anyway onto the flash fiction!

The Cyberspace Carnival

       Children and adults alike went into cyberspace alike to witness the carnival coming into their servers. School work and house work could wait, every Saturday was reserved for the carnival, and very few families thought otherwise. With smiles of excitement on their faces families zipped up their virtual suits and jumped into the reality next door.
        Rainbows of fireworks filled the skies of cyberspace and during the carnival they programmed the grass to sway like rippling water hit with a rain of pebbles. The people moved about in this cyberspace enjoying the warm spring atmosphere the holders of the carnival programmed in for them.

        Clowns doing the impossible flew through the air. In cyberspace, the performers had no limitations, so feats of danger didn't impress the audience quite as much as the clowns making stones turn into clouds and then dance among them. One of the clowns, creatively named Bozo2373.exe had been programmed with just enough of a simulation of emotion to be able to smile at the audience as his act came along. His routine involved him dancing along with seven other clowns in equally colorful outfits, he smiled at the audience, he knew joy while he danced so he could smile at any members of the audience that were looking at him. His happiness ended as his act did and he vanished into the clown car. In the clown car he was stuffed into a zip file until the next carnival to be decompressed and let out to entertain the masses again.
