Chloe and open
Chloe was glad for the shortened work hours. It meant that she could go home early and hide from the creepiness that surrounded the Cirque lately. She hated it here, she didn't even want to go into town.
And home was where she was headed when she noticed the gathering crowd. With a frown she stopped and headed that way. She was too short to see over the people and so she tried to weave her through the crowd. What was going on?
What had happened to make a crowd like this gather when the circus was closing?
