Description
Abandoned by his parents at six years of age, Lucas is forced to turn to a freak show as his place of refuge. Known under the stage name, The LaughingStock, he performs small magical feats at Marbum's Freak Show Emporium. Though Lucas gets sick of people gawking at him, claiming his acts are fake, when he knows they're real. Saying that his tricks make him a freak when he has nothing wrong or odd about him! He desperately wants to leave, to be accepted as a human and not as some animal to mock, but is trapped and forced to work by the Ring Leader, Mr. Marbum. But, he's escaped from the freak show, and Mr. Marbum's control. Join LaughingStock as he retells his tale... (Special thanks to cookie-dragon for the cover!) (Also, note that this story is told in Luca's/ LaughingStock's past tense, only the prologue is told in present tense.)
