When the circus tent lit up the sky, people from the village of Wheaton were thrilled to come and see. 
Despite the frightening performances advertised on posters, horrifying oddeties that the church warned about and strange clowns staring at the children a bit too long, everyone arrived.

In the depth of the night, when colours filled the sky and the smell of popcorn wafted through the air no one suspected foul play. 
No one felt little hands slipping in and out of their pockets and their jewelry slipping off their bodies.

No one heard the blood curdling scream that filled the air or the desperate cries for help. 

No one suspected foul play. 

No-one.
