The Circus Affair


by Dawa Drolma, Allison Kulas, and Amber Pelletier


Lucy planned to take her husband to the circus for their honeymoon. As they made their way through the seemingly never-ending woods, they finally spotted the colorful tent.

Davis, the ringmaster, led the show’s elaborate performance. He was the stereotypical tall, dark, and handsome gentleman. He specialized in the show’s intense magic tricks that left the audience speechless.

Lucy and her husband joined the audience with their popcorn and peanuts to enjoy the show. During the middle of the performance, Davis spotted the young couple kissing lovingly during his act. He called the husband down onto the stage as a guest for his magic trick. The husband entered a large mysterious box, and Davis shut the door. After a few minutes of interaction with the audience, the doors opened to reveal an empty box. The show ended here.

Lucy stood up quickly and ran out of the tent to find Davis standing beside a tree. They met with sly smiles and held each other in their arms.

“I missed you so much,” exclaimed Lucy.

“I’m all yours, forever and always,” replied Davis.
