I woke up, gasping for air before realizing I was in a tank full of water. I was in some sort of... shack, if you would call it that.
Suddenly, the door opened. Three men walked in.
Two of them I recognized as the ones who kidnapped me. The third was staring at me and paying the other two money. "He'll be perfect for next week."
Next week? What were they planning to do-
My thoughts were interrupted by circus music playing. Even through the water, it was blasting into my ears. I noticed a poster on the wall reading: The Famous Ohio Circus!
Wait... Ohio? Those men took me to some shitty circus in Ohio... for what?
To perform.
I already knew I had to get out of here before next week, which I assumed was the starting date for the shows. If I had to perform... someone might recognize me. They would know my secret, and if they had their phone with them... they could share it with the rest of the world.
The men let me out of the tank and told me to get dressed to meet with the rest of the performers. After putting on the least... circuslike outfit I could find, I walked into the room where the other performers were.
And there were clowns. So. Many. Clowns.
I already knew this circus was going to be hell.
