the abandoned theatre part 22

My note reads:

"It takes two to tango."

The woman fades away. I fade away. And then we are outside the theatre. Before I notice anything else, the ferris wheel catches my eyes. I watch the chairs move up and down in a circle without stopping. It is so beautiful. So primative, but unnatural at the same time.

The woman walks foward and reads a small sign beside the ride. I don't pay much attention to the sign. There is a small booth besides the platform beneath the giant wheel. I walk past the woman and step up to the booth. There is no one inside. A small box is placed to one side which is marked: "Valuables Here".

The woman catches up to me and says nothing. The ride stops slowly as if expecting something to happen. She pulls a small, shimmering object from her pocket. It looks strangely familiar. She places the object into the box marked "Valuables Here" and steps onto the platform. She looks at me expectingly. It seems impossible to imagine, but it was almost as if the woman and the ride together were pulling me to them.

We sit into a chair. As soon as the safety bar was down the ride began again.
