FAMINE!

So, we all get to the Faire, and after basically getting threatened by that scary lady in a corset, we are feeling less than enthusiastic about the day. From the road, the Faire looked really small and honestly I don't think anyone was thinking that it was going to me a memorable day. But after getting through the gates and looking around, we all realized, or at least the people I was with realized that this was probably the coolest wierd faire we've been to. The first thing that I realized when I walked into the faire was that there was a smelly, green skinned nut dressed in black trying to scare people. And I was scared. I tried to pretend that he wasn't trying to scare me, and that he didn't scare me at all, but girls aren't really good at hiding their fear. So when this nutcase came up behind me while I was waiting in a line to buy doughnuts with my friend (those were the bese non-authentic renaissance doughnuts i've ever had), I may have freaked out. But he wouldn't go away! That's when I tried a new defense tactic: I talked to him. It turns out, this guy's name was Famine. He had a brother, but his brother wasn't at the faire, and I forget what he said about his mother because by this time, Rachel and I were in hysterical laughter. We got our doughnuts finally, and as soon as Rachel started eating, Famine was basically having a siezure... he was dying because the FAMILE was dying! I finally realized the point of him, and it was realllly geeky- he was a metaphor for the pain, suffering, starvation, and disease during that time! He came up unexpectedly to everyone, and you may not have liked him or wanted him around, but he wouldn't leave until you had overcome him.
