Midnight Pals: Everyone Loves a Circus (Patreon)

Ben Farthing: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the circus tent that i found in the woods behind my house Barker: hell of a title there, man Farthing: you think? Farthing: is it too much? Barker: naw naw it's good

Farthing: so there's this mysterious circus tent that just appears Koontz: oo! i love a circus King: no dean King: i'm pretty sure this isn't going to be like that kind of circus Koontz: how do you know? King: just a hunch

King: just in general, dean King: i don't think if anyone tells a story about a circus King: at this campfire King: it's ever going to be about a good experience Koontz: circuses have clowns King: yes dean Koontz: clowns are funny King: ok dean Poe: let him have his fun steve

Koontz: gosh i dunno i think circuses are fun Koontz: i went to a circus once Koontz: i saw trained dogs Koontz: there was probably other stuff too but that was the important part

Farthing: so a father and son in the woods discover this bizarre circus tent Farthing: that eats them and then they can't leave Thomas Ligotti: are there clowns Farthing: yes Ligotti: are the clowns manifestations of the protagonist's inner guilt Farthing: you better believe it!

Farthing: and not just clowns in this circus Farthing: but also Farthing: statues of clowns Ligotti: are you saying Ligotti: there are dummies? Farthing: you could say that Ligotti: hm King: oh wow i've never seen thomas so excited!
