MOVING DAY
For almost eight months the travelling night circus had been sitting unmoving in New Orleans and running shows as though this wasn't a highly irregular stillness. Then, one night in late August, everyone who lived in the cirque began to feel that strange yet familiar tugging, the feeling that said without words that that would be moving very soon. Those who had been with the circus for years would recognise it easily, and may have even been able to pinpoint in how many days it would happen. Those that were newer might not know what it meant, but even they knew to follow the instinct that told them to stay close.
