The Witch's circus is in town, and you've got the best seat in the house! We only come around once in your pitiful, mortal lifespan. We've got feral beasts and feral children, knife-eaters and fire-feasters. We have fortunes guaranteed to come true! We have magic mirrors and a Carousel that's been spinning longer than you've been alive! Gorge yourself with our tragically addictive popcorn, chow down on our candy apples, cotton candy, and feast on funnel cake! Just make sure you follow our rules while you're here: Keep your ticket on your person at all times... if you value your freedom. Do not feed the beasts (or the performers, for that matter)... if you value your hide. Do not overstay your welcome... if you value your life.
