Out for a Decision

After her phone call with Nina, Aurora needed air.  She didn't even think about where she was going, Aurora just bolted out of her house.  After walking aimlessly she decided to head over to the Fall Festival at the old cannery.  This was one of the few places that didn't provoke any of those memories or images.  So Aurora felt safe that she could think clearly there.
Once there Aurora headed toward the pumpkin patch.  She realized it was almost Halloween and didn't have on so why not.  She quickly headed for the haunted house.  If it was anything like last years it wasn't scary.  Aurora really just wanted to keep herself distracted.  She wasn't really in the mood to be all festive, she just honestly didn't want to think about where she should go or really if she should look at that house.
After the haunted house which Aurora felt was almost pathetic, she was glad to run into one her neighbors.  Although Constance Shelley didn't seem like the pie eating contest type she sure couldn't wait to find someone to compete against.  So when Constance asked her Aurora said sure.  I guess when the prize is money people will do anything.  Aurora figured she would just let Constance win since money is no longer an issue for her.

However something very strange happened as Aurora waited for the whistle to start.  It was like she was there but not.  All of the sudden she started seeing these images pass through her head.  She was at the fall festival, but not this festival and she wasn't alone.  All of them had Aurora and that mystery dream man of hers in them.  Like all the other times she couldn't see his face straight on, but it was the same guy.



It was just three images, but three very vivid images.  It threw Aurora for a moment.  Usually the festivals never brought on anything.  However this time it did, they were clear images of Aurora and that guy having fun at the festival.  It was so weird, Aurora was so flustered by this she couldn't even win the contest against Constance is she wanted to.  As soon as it was done Aurora just flew out of there.  Although those memories or whatever they are took her back, they also made Aurora know exactly what she wanted to do. She just needed a quiet place to make a very important phone call.
