    About this ebook

    Laura's trip to the carnival carried all the wonders and intrigue a child could have asked for, except for a single tune she cannot get out of her head. This harmonica's melody carries within it one of humanity's most dire desires.

    Too bad Laura's parents are vegans.

    This very short story also includes a sample of S. B. Sebrick's apocalyptic novel 'The First Strain'.
