Friends of the Circus

Wolf Boy, otherwise known as Rolfo the Dog Faced Boy, was now covered it mostly gray hair.

Rolfo greeted Marcus, the Amazing Tattooed Man with a handshake outside of Sam and Ruby’s house.

“Wolf Boy, I haven’t seen you in years, I guess I should call you Wolfman now eh?,” The Tattooed Man laughed.

“Ha, ha, “Said Rolfo, ” Seems the ship on your bicep is sinking a little there buddy,” Rolfo retorted.

“Time it marches on. Sad about Giggles passing wasn’t it? Cirrhosis I heard. Man he was one funny clown,” the Tattooed Man said.

“He sure was a mean drunk,” Rolfo said.

“Hey guys, how have you been?,” Gustav the sword swallower said in a raspy voice.

They embraced and went inside to greet the rest of their old circus friends, and lament the loss of Giggles and a life long past that would never come again.
