This story is about a creepy and evil circus and the circus director is Blake. It's a storyteller who tells the story that might be true. But it's more a legend. The strongman wants to stop the circus for the words on good. This is mysterious and what you believe you believe. (I made this story and the character but I don't own them and make no profit so make fanfiction if you want. Would be cool. But credit me took me a so long time to make it)Complete
