Does the carnival have an indeterminate way of selecting patrons? Could it have been selected to be a part of that particular booth? Is the booth maybe a trap or has something supernatural or otherworldly been invoked in the booth by someone, by accident or on purpose? Just something to think about, I am not saying this is what happened.
At any rate, you decide to take a look at the sword, which is sticking out of the stone. The sword is probably one of the more powerful swords on the market. Your friend keeps up the good sport act, but soon you give it a try, having no doubt that you will succeed. You pull the sword out of the stone. The crowd cheers, with you being the hero here. You go and pick up your prize, the sword, and bring it back to your friend. As you were getting ready to hand it over, a terrible thing happens. The sword starts to glow and when you hold it up, you are able to see...nothing. ''
You and your friend walk back to your car, talking about what you saw when you pulled the sword out of the stone. As you are trying to comprehend what happened, a police officer asks if you have any idea what is going on. You search for a response, but it seems like no one knows anything. It was announced by the police later in the evening, that the world around you is the only thing you can see. Others were pulled into a parallel world, probably in some horrific way, but how the sword did that is not known. All we know is everyone else is trapped in their new "realm." The attack could have split the dimensions, in this world your mind was exchanged with the minds of others.
You ask the police officer if any of your family was captured in this attack. He says he is not sure, but most people were not where they were supposed to be. After the attack many people were killed by things like wild animals, monsters, vampires, and other creatures of the night. The attacks were very chaotic.
You and your friend decide to start looking for your family and friends. After searching at a building and not being able to get in, you decide to go back and plan a better strategy for tomorrow.
That night you lay in your bed, unable to sleep. The whole world is crazy and the only person who can see is you. You start to get very scared. You wake up in a cold sweat from a bad dream. You wake up and out of bed, when you hear a noise. You grab a flashlight, which you have and a baseball bat, which you have, and check it out. You and your friend check rooms and don't find anything, but you notice scratches and other marks on the walls. You decide to go to sleep again, but you have a hard time do to the sweat and because the house is still and quiet.
The next day you and your friend start working on a plan. He says if the sword caused this "world vision," then putting the sword back in the stone and maybe that would send everyone back, or something else could happen. You decide to leave it in the stone, until you meet a man who knows more about the sword. You take the sword to a man they call the Mystic. It turns out he is a person who makes tools for the "Spirits" or the inhabitants of this world. He tells you that those who seek knowledge about the sword will soon be attacked, for it is an evil and powerful sword. He says that the only one who can master the sword is a person who has the ability to not fear, who is courageous and strong, who's thoughts are pure and focuses only on helping others. There is a chance that you might be this person, and if you overcome your fears and your courage, you shalt be bestowed with great powers.
You and your friend are attacked by some spirts. They steal the sword and your friend is wounded. You told your friend to get in the car and that you will continue the search for the sword. You say to them, "Leave him alone, you have what you wanted. I will lead you to where it will be put back in the stone."
You lead them to the stone, and when they think you are going to put the sword back in, you slam yourself against the sword. Your vision beings to go through changes and you fall to the ground. You notice all the wounds on your body. The wounds, which have been appearing in the past few nights have been healing by themselves, but this time is different. This time it feels like then are not going to heal.
