Madame Morrigan´s Grand Show (Patreon)

The tent was fully lit when Madame Morrigan led her assistant, Jane, onto the stage. There were no spectators this time, nor could they hear the voices of the other performers behind the curtains. The lamps had been turned on, bathing the place in a warm glow. Under those conditions, the tent seemed much larger than usual. Jane had performed there hundreds of times, but she had never experienced that strange sensation of being in such an empty place.

In front of them, illuminated by the main spotlight, stood Morrigan's latest acquisition, which she had commissioned a month and a half earlier: a massive solid-oak chest, reinforced with iron rivets and fitted with heavy lids. More than anything, it looked like a safe, and it had taken four stagehands to move it into position.

Morrigan stopped beside her new contraption and, with a calm smile, explained that it would be the centerpiece of one of her upcoming escape acts—one that Jane herself would have the honor of performing.

MUHAHAHA, ONE LONG STORY. THE REST, AND 18 IMAGES IN TOTAL, CAN BE FOUND IN THE FULL GALLERY. ENJOY IT.
