“Leroy, have you seen my easel, that rickety old standing one I used to have?” My wife’s question floated down over the sounds of the program I am watching on tv. Technically I had heard her, but I didn’t register a word she had said. The television judge was about to hand down her ruling, after all, and I was listening intently to that.

“Leroy, did you hear me?” She insists on asking again when...

The wind blew fast outside, creaking into the roof. I felt the wind over my arms, trying to push me down. The speakers rang, “He will NEVER be stopped! The greatest, and the only, The Dancing Mice!” I struggled on the squirming rope, trying to find the end. The one-wheeler bike tossed roughly, losing balance fast. I felt my skin drop, the bike falling with me. The mice running around, the tank of ...

Once upon a time, there was a circus performer named Jack who was the star of the traveling circus. From city-to-city, he dazzled audiences with his death defying acrobatic skills. Leaping through rings of fire while on rollerblades, performing top-notch fight choreography with razor sharp swords, and dancing like a modern-day MJ. Every night, he performs a dangerous stunt that involves fire.

The...

I shivered as I walked along the small path, the black satin of my shift not enough protection from the cool night air. Holding myself tightly, I stepped onto the dirt, walking around the back of the manor and finding my faded grey sedan tucked by the trees. I let out a shakey breath, pausing then forcing myself to thrust the rusty key in before I could change my mind. The trunk creaked open as I ...

Blinding lights streak all across the room

The sun is still in its rising position

The beams blast through the old attic, illuminating the dust covered boxes

It is a city of cardboard surrounding a solitary wooden chest that all but left my mind until my eyes laid upon it

My name whispered in my ears

Echoing all around my brain

I’m drawn to the box and move toward it before realizing that I’m alr...

Some nights, Aubrey missed the circus with emotions so deep that it took bottles of whiskey and at least two packs of cigarettes to calm them. Years ago, his days looked different: morning coffee with Lorna, the bearded woman, then a snack with the lizard man, Yorris. He missed them deeply, wondered where they were now. After lunch with the fish man, Bradley, and a nap with the clawed woman, Yolan...

I accomplished the dream I had since I was born

To become a world renowned clown

But while reminiscing, I became torn

As my smile quickly turned into a frown

I was going through my old chest

And then what happened was horrific, I can attest

I saw the horn that I used when I performed for the first time

That I only got because I murdered my predecessor, Marty the Mime...

Inside the darkness of the gift box, Killian waited. He rolled his shoulders. It had been a while since his last assignment. Many of his brethren had been retired to the incinerator. But not him. The new Kiloni series Ova was more popular with clients with its bells and whistles, but sometimes you just had to send in the clown.

Killian could feel his box being brought inside and nestled beneath ...
