The story was inspired from 3 images
An abandoned portrait of The American Gothic [which is a famous painting] is lying on the beach with seagulls flying around it. Suddenly a huge tsunami of big waves of galloping horses came over the land. The two persons seem very scared in the picture as they were dragged down into the sea. As they were getting deeper and deeper under the sea, with other objects, they began to hear music coming from somewhere. They saw a circus tent in the distance and as they soaked into it, the music becomes louder. There at the Circus tent they began to see clowns, acrobats, animals, and other entertainers.
The two persons were terribly astonished with what they saw. Suddenly a warning alarm starts to call out and everybody stopped staring and everyone in the circus started to melt slowly. The two persons looked scared and they closed their eyes with fear. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back on the beach....
For the second time the tsunami coming towards them again but this time they were excited to go under the sea again....
