Okay, I forgot the order the Cirque performers went on stage, so I made up an entirely different order, or resembling the original in the very least.
Review, enjoy! Flame? I hope not... Nevertheless, they are welcome :P
The first freak that came on was the Wolf Man.
He was incredibly hairy, and it looked somewhat wiry. The Wolf Man also wore a cloth around his middle. He didn't have a tail, so I asked Steve if he could be a werewolf.
"Nah. He was probably born like that. Maybe he has some kind of disease that makes him so... violent." Steve shivered.
There was a couple of young women, probably a few years older than my age of sixteen. They were wheeling out a huge cage, and in it the Wolf Man. Mr Tall came out on stage, and he spoke in a hushed voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what you are looking at is the Wolf Man. I warn you that you must stay quiet when we hypnotize him and bring him around. You might lose a limb, otherwise.
"You may also touch his hair when we come around, but remember to do so lightly," Mr Tall instructed us.
With that, Mr Tall leaned over the Wolf Man and whispered something in his ear. He relaxed instantly and looked kind of dazed. The ladies led the Wolf Man through the audience, and some people stroked his hair, but most people stayed away. Steve dared me to touch it, and I reluctantly did so. The Wolf Man felt wiry, just as he looked, and smelled weird. Hmm.
After the Wolf Man, there was this guy named Alexander Ribs. I didn't know whether or not that was his real name, but he was amazing. He almost looked skeletal, since he was incredibly skinny. You could see all his ribs!
Ribs took this odd furry drumstick, or mallet, and bopped one of his ribs. He opened his mouth, and a note came out!
I was completely awestruck.
Ribs played quite a few well-known tunes, as well as classical music. Then he played some theme intros.
After Alexander Ribs, there came Gertha Teeth. She could chew through a sledgehammer or motorcycle!
There was also Sive and Seersa, who were similar to Alexander but less spectacular. They took a break after that and said we could purchase souvenirs and other things from the tables at the side.
After the intermission was over, this huge guy came on. His name was Rhamus Twobellies, and he actually had two stomachs! He downed a table of various things, most of which I'd never seen, and even ate a bunch of nuts and bolts!
After Rhamus came on this guy called Hans Hands, and he could run around on his two hands. He said his father was born without legs, and he passed on his skill to his children. Hans even beat four fully grown men at a race, using his hands.
Almost instantly after Hans had received his applause, the next performer came on. They called her Truska the bearded lady. I couldn't see any beard, though. She rubbed her chin and barked something like a seal. Then, hair began growing on her face! She beckoned to some people to come up and cut her beard, but it just couldn't be done.
After Truska, Mr Tall came back on and spoke again in that hushed, quiet but stern voice.
"This last, but not least, act is particularly dangerous. I need not remind you to be quiet, as you were when the Wolf Man came on. Enjoy, but do not clap or the performer may be killed." I was a bit puzzled, but I saw why he said that soon.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Larten Crepsley and his performing spider, Madam Octa!"
I didn't know that this was the man who'd change my life.
I hope you guys enjoyed! Do I need remind you to review?
Stay creepy,
Creep.
