freak show

December 27th, everyone was getting ready for the New Year. You, Dominika, were only four years old at the time, and you still believed in Santa Claus and were looking forward to the New Year's gifts.

On the same day, a huge circus called the "Freak Circus" arrived in your city. After its appearance, several people disappeared and half of the people were afraid of this circus and hated all the clowns there.

Four days have passed, it's December 31st, everyone at home is already preparing salads for the New Year's table and taking out fireworks, and your family is no exception, but you, being just a little four-year-old child, don't understand anything and are simply enjoying the holiday

You celebrated New Year's very well. At night, you were put to bed and your mom and dad went to see the present under the tree so that when you woke up, you would see it and think that it was brought by Santa Claus, whom all children believed in.

When they approached the tree, the parents saw a small gift box there that they hadn't put there... They didn't pay any attention to it, saying: maybe these guests left it as a gift for Dominika?

In the morning, little you, you got out of bed and saw two gift boxes under the tree. You opened one gift and found a doll inside—a gift your parents had given you, but you'd been told it was from Santa Claus. And in the second little box were four brooches: the first was shaped like a green heart, the second like a yolk star, the third like a purple diamond, and the fourth like a black teardrop.

Little one, you thought that all these gifts were from Santa Claus and you were just happy...

You didn't know yet that these brooches were a gift from Pierrot, Harlequin, Jester, and the Ticketmaster from that very same freak show. It's strange... how did the gift end up in the house if they'd never even seen those jesters? The parents waited, thinking it was a small gift with brooches left by one of the guests...

For 12 years, Pierrot, Harlequin, Jester, and the Ticketmaster of that very same freak show left gifts for Dominica... and her parents dismissed the unexpected appearance of a gift as one of the guests leaving them...
