One of them is terrifying. One of them is sweet. Guess which is which. Genre: Fantasy   Excerpt:\u201cThere\u2019s a pit bull in the ball pit!\u201d someone cried. The children saw Angel, and they began to flee. Angel opened his mouth enough to bare his teeth, but not enough to use those teeth. Children screamed and flapped their arms and were pulled up out of the pit by the scruff of their shirts. Little Sam was somehow oblivious to the mayhem.   The Wheel of Fiction Turns. What did it land on this time?Each Season 9 story follows a theme chosen by the Wheel of Fiction. Thirteen spokes. Eight are the themes from previous seasons. One is \u201cTurn Again.\u201d One is a wild card. And three are covered in question marks and will be revealed when the wheel lands on them. This episode landed on CHALLENGE. See a story trailer and a (satisfying) video of the wheel turning here: Angel at the Carnival.

Two figures at center. Left, a toddler boy wearing overalls with a patch at the chest bearing an image of the hand-horns sign. The boy\u2019s right hand is outstretched and is conjuring a cloud of cotton candy. His other arm is bent at his side. Right, an animal that appears to be half-dog and half-fish. The dog-like body is sitting up. The fish-like head is turned to the side with mouth open, displaying piranha teeth and a pointy outstretched tongue. The creature\u2019s eyes are red. It has a long tail bearing fins, ending in a caudal fin. The creature wears a studded collar with a tag that reads \u201cAngel.\u201d Behind them is the hazy shape of a Ferris wheel with glowing lights. Watermark of \u201cStoryfeather\u201d along the boy\u2019s right side. ","author_name":"Storyfeather","author_url":"http:\/\/storyfeather.libsyn.com\/site","html":"
