The Human Hearted Imp Shorts

Short 10: Hoot Hoot, Never Crossed an Owl Prince

One evening, Blitz and Stolas are both in the living room on a date. Both of them are in their human disguises as they walk down the sidewalk after having lunch.

"It sure is a nice day, huh Blitz," Stolas says.

"It really is," Blitz says.

The two continue to walk down the sidewalk and they begin to hear some voices. The two soon look to see a crowd of people looking at the large tent in the middle of the park. Everyone seems to be excited to see it.

"Hmm, there seems to be a large crowd," Stolas says.

"Must be an event going on," Blitz says.

The two soon walk over to see a large tent that has a sign next to it that reads, 'Demonic and Unusual Creatures. Mr. Magico's Sideshow.'

"That's quite an odd name," Stolas says.

"Must be a sideshow or something," Blitz says.

"I'm curious," Stolas says and turns to Blitz, "You wanna check it out?"

"I guess. We still have time before heading home. Besides, I think it's interesting," Blitz says

And with that, the two walk towards the entrance, pay their tickets, and walk inside to check out the display. When they look around, they see a bearded lady. Although, the beard doesn't seem tha reality. They also then see a white unicorn, but the horn looks like it's made of paper rolled up. They then see two pinheads, but they don't really look realistic either. One of them looks like a monster, but it's clear that there's a zipper on its back. And yet, many are amazed by it. Stolas and Blitz are kind of dumbfounded and confused.

Stolas mutters, "Well, I'm not impressed."

"I have to agree," Blitz sheepishly replies.

Stolas sighs, "Honestly, they're as real as a clown." Then turn to Blitz, "No offense."

"None taken," Blitz says. Then apologizes, "Sorry if this is kind of a buzzkill."

Stolas notices, "Hmm, there seems to be a shop over there. How, usual."

The two turn to see the shop, and it looks a bit silly.

"I'm going to check it out. You wanna come," Stolas replies.

"I think I'll stay a little bit," Blitz says.

"Of course, I won't be long," Stolas says and takes his leave to the shop.

Blitz continues looking at the sideshow as he is confused about it. To him, his family's circus is better than this. Unknown to Blitz, he's not the only one who is checking the side show, two familiar Government Agents, Agent One and Two are checking out the sideshow as well.

Agent One says, "Well, this is quite a disappointment."

"I'm unimpressed. We heard that there's demons and unusual creatures, but they're just people and animals with extra body parts, makeup and all that like it's a convention," Agent Two says, also disappointed.

"No kidding. A Halloween Party is better than this," Agent One says.

"Yeah. Trying to find those demons we faced is a lot better than this," Agent Two says as she turns her head.

She becomes surprised, "Hold on..."

"What is it?" Agent One questions.

Agent Two says, "Look over there, doesn't that human look familiar?"

Agent One turns his head to see Blitz in his human form. Because they've seen him in his human appearance, they know it's him right away.

"It's Blitzo Abercrombie," Agent Two whispers.
