*Flash Back*
A "normal" circus family travels down the road, headed to the next town on the circus route.
The mother and father lightly argued over which road to take.
In the back, sitting on the coach is a 14 year old boy holding his 6 year old sister in his lap, watching a VHS episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on there tiny portable television set.
Both grinning hugely.
Then out of nowhere a semi tractor trailer appears, there is only enough time for the mother to scream....
The girl wakes up on the hard pavement, fire trucks and ambulances everywhere.
She was thrown out the window, and miraculously only had a cracked rib and a few cuts and bruises.
Ambulance workers loaded three white body bags on a stretcher into its open doors.

There was a knock on the door.
I looked out the window, a bearded collage age kid stood outside holding a pizza box.
I grabbed some money from my purse and traded it for my pizza, giving the guy a good tip for driving all the way out here.
I looked at the clock on my while, an hour and 45 minutes till showtime.
People were already starting to line up at the ticket office.
I tore a slice of my pizza off and took a bite.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in"
It was my legal guardian, and the shows choreographer and bosses wife, Tina.
"Hey Roxane, need anything I'm headed to the gas station?"
I replied
"No thank you, Tina. I just ordered pizza, I'm set for the night.
"Ok, ill see you later"
She stepped out and closed the door behind her.
