There was a shrill sire song of calliope played there that beckoned everyone with a seductive promise of some dreams and the youth regained. In that particular season of dying, the Pandemonium Shadow Show came to the happening Green Town of Illinois. It was meant to destroy everyone touched by its sinister and strange mystery.

They will very soon discover the great secret associated with the smoke, mirrors, and mazes of the satanic raree-show.
