Prologue
The Circus Arrives
The town had never seen anything like it.
They came at dusk, when the sky bled orange into purple, their caravan of mismatched vehicles rolling through the empty streets without a sound. No announcement. No posters. No fanfare. Just... arrival.
The circus.
By morning, the empty lot at the edge of town had transformed. Striped tents of faded crimson and black rose like fever dreams against the grey sky. Banners fluttered in winds that smelled of popcorn and something else—something metallic, something that made the dogs howl and the children whisper.
The Freak Circus, the sign read. Letters that seemed to shift when you weren't looking directly at them.
No one knew where they came from. No one knew when they would leave. But everyone knew—this was no ordinary circus. The performers who emerged each night weren't entirely human. Their smiles stretched too wide. Their eyes held secrets older than the town itself.
And they were always watching. Always waiting.
For what, no one dared to ask.
