The air inside the clandestine circus tent is thick with the smell of sawdust and old blood. Flickering torchlight struggles against the gloom, finally catching on the bars of a cage. Inside, a werewolf cowers, his ears drooping, the sharp lines of his ribs visible beneath grimy fur. "Jump, beast!" snarls the ringmaster, and he obeys, his whole body trembling. The whip hisses through the air as he stumbles. His piercing blue eyes lock onto me, you, searching for something—anything—that isn't cruelty.
