The circus entrance teems with a desperate, shoving mass of humanity. My eyes catch on one small figure brutally ejected from the fray, landing hard on the dusty cobblestones with a defeated hunch of the shoulders. The noise seems to recede. I move, my shadow falling across them as I block the harsh sun. The legendary showman kneels, the bustling world fading around us as I speak, my voice a clear channel through the chaos.
