Short chapter, I know, but this one's on the Dire Mother and the Great Child. I thought since no one out there's made one on these guys yet, then I'd be the first!
CHAPTER ONE: THE FREAKSHOW COMES TO TOWN
BY Ranekaera Kuhn Young
September 10, 2006
The sound of children laughing. The sound of adults pointing and talking excitedly. The sound of the animals. The smell of popcorn and cotton candy. These things were all familiar to Margaret Shelburne. She was here with her mother, and they were munching on popcorn and enjoying the circus.
Margaret wore a cute little dress and pinafore with lace ruffles round the collar, and her shoes were patent leather, like a dolls. Her mother often dressed her like a doll, for that was what she was. Margaret was only three feet tall, and so was laughed at and rejected all her life. The only thing she could do, however, was to gain any form of acceptance she could find.
She was going to run away and join the circus.
Her mother, sitting beside her with an arm around her shoulder, knew naught of it, of course, for what would she say if she knew what poor Margaret was to become?
