Bindlestiff Sideshow Stabbing

During the closing act of a raucous performance art troupe called the Bindlestiff Family Circus, I noticed a knot of people clustered about something on the floor. As the crowd was hustled out by one of the performers, I learned that there had been a stabbing during the final fire eating act.

The animal in someone had risen up and killed a fellow audience member, but in a roomful of people, there was not a single witness to the crime. All I could think was "It was just another part of the show for all of them."
