II · The Fairground
Beyond these gates, the greatest show you've never seen.
The fair opens only to ticket holders. Its keepers do not perform for passers-by. Though if you were to press your eye to the keyhole...
Something is moving behind the gate. A lantern, perhaps. Or someone holding one.

How the fair came to be
No one remembers the fair arriving. Only that one evening the lanterns were simply there, strung between trees that hadn't been there either, and a man in a brass-buttoned coat was selling tickets to anyone who had a question they couldn't put down.
