Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys (2015)

by Delilah S. Dawson
(#8 in Blud (Short Story))

The number one rule of the circus? Don't kill your volunteers, even accidentally. That's how young magician Criminy Stain ends up on the run in a forest, where he meets a beautiful woman holding a bucket of blood. But is Merissa the answer to his prayers-- or the orchestrator of his ruin?
