○Ticket Taker●

It was a normal workday at the café. Customers came and went, talking about the new circus that had arrived in town just a few days before. They said it was a creepy and strange horror circus, which is why many called it the Circus of Freaks, because many strange and terrifying things happened there.

People started talking about their artists, saying they were weird, that since they arrived different people had started disappearing, and many more negative comments that little by little began to bother you because you didn't like people judging others without knowing them, from personal experience.

The bell rang, pulling you from your thoughts and bringing you back to reality. An attractive and elegant gentleman in a navy blue suit and with perfectly combed jet-black hair had entered. He sat down at a table, and you immediately went to take his order.

"Good morning sir, what would you like to order?" you asked politely.

"A black coffee without sugar, please," said the gentleman .

"Okay. I'll bring it right away. " You smiled politely and went back to preparing the order.

As you were about to deliver the gentleman's order, you passed by a table where they had been swearing and judging the circus members for quite some time. You couldn't stand it anymore and confronted them, approaching their table before delivering the order. After respectfully but firmly telling them a few home truths, you went to the gentleman's table.

"Here is your order, sir. Please excuse the delay. " You handed him his order, and after he thanked you, he asked if you liked the circus and offered you a navy blue ticket, explaining that he would soon be leaving town and wouldn't be able to use it, and that he would like to give it to a lady as respectful as you.

"So, what do you say, miss? Will you accept my small gift?" he said, extending the navy blue ticket in his hand.
