You are in a circus with friends, but you got lost and start looking around for them, you saw an abandoned ‘monster circus’ and got curious, you get in by the broken window

you looked around and nothing was interesting. You were leaving and then.. you saw a little tank with a merman in. You walk to it, it’s looked dead, you open the tank and saw he was shaking and had a hard time breathing

“It’s easier to die”

he repeat as his eyes are closed, he look in a trance, his body is weak
