You can see there is only one ball remaining.

You hand over the bag of balls to the carnie.

“Much Obliged.” The carnie offers a toothless grin. “People don’t like waiting and sharing.”

The carnie dumps the balls on the playing board. “Step right up, folks! Take a swing and down ‘er clown! Down ‘er clown three times, you win a prize!” The carnie smiles as the crowd gathers eagerly to play. 

You stand and watch as two participants line up their shots and throw.  These light balls don’t just knock down a clown; the whole attraction falls into pieces. 

You and the carnie look in disbelief.  You quickly go to the back to find a pile of nails.


You find a hammer and rusty nails, one by one, to rebuild the attraction. You pick a nail and hammer it in until it forms a frame.  Then you build the shelves. Finally, you anchor it in place.

The carnie nods with a smile, “Yur know your way around a hammer!” as the carnie turns to the midway and begins to call his patrons, “Step right up, folks! Take a swing and down ‘er clown! Down ‘er clown three times you win a prize!” The carnie smiles as the crowd gathers eagerly to play. 

You stand and watch as two participants line up their shots and throw.  The attraction sways a bit but stands firm.

You examine the hammer and see an unusual logo; it’s a KEY WITH A SYMBOL, and feel a pattern of notches
