And she was sure she managed to achieve it all. But one day... something went wrong. ✯A story inspired by the musical "The Phantom of the Opera". The characters are from School Bus Graveyard comic, but the lore is different so you can read it without knowing the universe at all. ✯ For sbg readers - the characters have different personalities than originally, so their roles here are not that obvious. WARNING: minimal descriptions of violence, death and alcohol - but minimal, I emphasize, so I'd say it's 12+ no smut or nsfw (only bad words, sorry hahah) also (typically) sorry for mistakes cause english is my second language :] Anyways, enjoy!

THE KILLING JOKE by andysoracle

Beneath the Sawdust: A Circus of Secrets 🎪 The Roster of Ages isn't just a book-it's a ledger written in blood and bound in debt. For generations, the Thorne Circus has hidden a dark truth: its glamorous aerialists are murderous enforcers, and its clowns are trapped in a cycle of servitude. The Clowns and The Crown Meet Charlie Conklin, a clown who gave up the greasepaint to become the forgettable children's performer, Mr. Scribbles. His final, desperate act was running from the circus, but his greatest fear is for his daughter, Cally. She's reinvented herself as a "classy" college student, hidden in the suburbs, clutching the very ledger that could free them all-or sign their death warrant. The Baker and the Foundling Cally's only ally is Hilton Matthews, an anxious baker whose shed now holds the Roster, wrapped in plastic and buried in flour. When the scent of fresh-baked scones and the quiet predictability of suburban life meet the ruthless agenda of the circus, no one is safe. The Aerialists are closing in, seeking to destroy the evidence of their bloody origins. If the Roster is exposed, the circus falls. If it's found, everyone Cally loves will be eliminated. Dive into a world where every smile hides a threat and the high wire leads straight to the grave. Will the baker and the foundling survive the secrets of the big top?
