The Sideshow

A group of friends start playing like they were in a side show when they were young, but Marco takes it too far. He starts changing and acting wild. What is happening to him, will he ever be the same?

{Intro}
It all started when we were kids. Playing around with sticks, juggling, passing, being kids. But something changed in Marco.... He became obsessed. He wanted to do everything there is to do in the side shows, sword swallowing, fire breathing, even being covered head to toe in tattoos. His parents weren't around much so he could do whatever he wanted. He learned how to do almost everything a person can do without being born with some form of DNA mutation. He even learned how to steal my heart. I remember him when we were younger with bright dirty blond hair, lime green eyes and the light scatter of freckles across his nose and cheeks. He became colder as we grew up, smoking by the age of 14, secluding himself, wearing black shirts with long sleeves on even the hottest day in summer. He changed, and none of us think for the good.
