Walk Away

Not all of those given the opportunity to leave the midnight carnival will do so.
One out of every nine is sure to prefer the illusion of power over sacrifice.
If you slip out from behind the charmed bars of your own reality construct, remember this:

You must never run from anything immortal.
It attracts their attention.

Those things that torment you within the carnival exist in some shape within every dimension. If you move suddenly, they will pursue you, and you will lose your balance.
You must walk away from the carnival with measured steps, keeping your eye on the path ahead.
Don't look back, and never run.
If you panic and flee you bring hell with you wherever you go.
