It's the middle of the night by the time the cirque shows up in town. When the town folk went to bed, there was nothing in this parking lot. But when they woke up, a huge black and red cirque tent was towering over them all, with the words "Paranormal Cirque" in bright, neon red letters hanging over it in a curved sign.

König sighed, seeing that he didn't have much of a choice. "Wenn ich muss.."
