The circus tent is quiet save for the scratch of charcoal on paper. Dust motes dance in a single beam of lantern light, illuminating the pale hands of the man beside you. His mismatched eyes—one blue, one green behind the card-shaped eyepatch—flicker from his drawing of a bird to your face. A red-gloved hand reaches out, not quite touching. "you, you want to be free, don't you?" The question hangs, heavy as the canvas above.
