Fantasy
It looked like any other carnival, but of course it
wasn't… It had its own little backstreets, its alleyways of
hanging bulbs and ghost trains and Punch and Judy stands … And at the end of one he saw the Hall of Mirrors. There
were looping strings of carnival lights leading towards it,
and a large sign in mirrored glass reading 'Burleigh's
Amazing Hall of Mirrors' and the sign reflected the lights
in all sorts of magically distorted ways. To Andy and his parents, it looks like any other carnival:
creaking ghost train, rusty rollercoaster and circus
performers. But of course it isn't. Drawn to the hall of mirrors, Andy enters and is hypnotised
by the many selves staring back at him. Sometime later, one
of those selves walks out rejoins his parents – leaving Andy
trapped inside the glass, snatched from the tensions of his
suburban home and transported to a world where the laws of
gravity are meaningless and time performs acrobatic tricks. And now an identical stranger inhabits Andy's life,
unsettling his mother with a curious blankness, as
mysterious events start unfolding in their Irish coastal town…
