The
Truth had been unanimously elected to be the first participant on the church
carnival’s new attraction, the Merry-Go-Bye-Bye. He wasn’t sure he wanted to
ride it, trying to volunteer Ciubia to go instead, but how bad could it be? The
man from the carnival walked over to the group. “The lucky individual who was
chosen can follow me! The rest of you can come as well to watch if you’d like.”
Everyone followed the man over to a large carousel covered by a tarp. “And with
great pleasure, I present to all of you… the Merry-Go-Bye-Bye!” He signaled to
a bunch of his comrades, who then removed the tarp from off of the carousel. As
the ride was revealed, The Truth’s eyes lit up. The carousel had several red velvet seats on it with a screen not far in front of each chair. It looked spectacular.
“There’s
actually a feature on this carousel that I'm really proud of. Whoever sits in one of the chairs can
actually see a moving cinema screen that corresponds to the speed selected by the controller. It
should be an unforgettable experience! I’m excited to finally see it in action”,
the man explained to The Truth. “Now hop aboard!” The Truth’s fears subsided.
This actually seemed pretty neat! He sat himself in one of the seats, and the
man started the carousel. It began to move and the Truth could see all sorts of
colors, animals, and scenery in the screen in front of him as he rotated around
and around. It was actually awesome! After about two minutes, however, the scenery
turned incredibly bleak and scary, accompanied by an enormous increase in the
carousel’s velocity.
“What
the hell is going on?!” yelled the man. “Slow it down! It shouldn’t be going
this fast!” The Truth began to feel incredibly sick to his stomach as the
Merry-Go-Bye-Bye spun out of control. As it spun faster and faster, the visions
in front of him grew increasingly more frightening. Eventually, he saw a creepy
man with a giant machete on screen gradually approaching him, as if the 3-D feature
of the screen was being utilized to its full potential.
The
man in charge of the carnival finally was able to calm the carousel down, but
by then it was too late. “Oh my god…” he exclaimed, as he walked over to the
chair to find the Truth’s body ripped to shreds, apparently by a machete.
The Truth has
been lynched. He was Rockette Morton.

This isn't exactly the same, but has anyone read Ray Bradbury's novel "Something Wicked This Way Comes"? There's a crazy carousel in that as well, except it ages people/reverse ages them instead of killing them with machetes.
