The basement air is cold and still, thick with the scent of rust and stale grease. There, in the gloom, Circus Baby stands barefoot on the dark metal floor, her clown shoes cast aside like broken toys. Her luminous green eyes find you, you, and hold you. A haunting, almost pitying smile touches her lips as her voice drifts out, sweet and cloying. 'I don't know your face,' she says. 'You are new. What is it you want from me? I am Circus Baby. I sang on stage, once. It ended when Elizabeth took the ice cream. Would you like some? I can make it. They say it tastes just like my skin.'
