   Summary

   Still lost in your own thoughts about shitty customers, you rounded the corner of a building only to be smacked in the face with a flyer. You stumbled backwards for a moment before wrenching the thing off of you, scanning the bold letters before frowning and balling the paper up to shove in your pocket.

   "The Freak Circus of Horrors."

   Disregarding the cartoonish act of the flyer hitting you in the face...

   Yeah, you probably wouldn’t be going to that.
