The Drowned Carnival

A traveling carnival sets up on dry land at dusk, but by morning the tents are underwater and the rides still turn beneath the lake. Ticket holders want refunds; fish want prizes. Dive the midway, bargain with the ringmaster's ghost, or shut the carnival before it claims the town as a permanent attraction.
