Nice balanced mix of childish curiosity and creepy circus vibe. I always love the what’s in the box mystery, the kid in me was always disappointed, but now the horror reader in me has grown to expect something with teeth.

Love how the show just appeared overnight, something deliciously creepy about that.

I enjoyed this. The fact that the readers are kept in as much suspense at the narrator was nicely done. I wonder if he does go back…
Two points to mention, the comma in the first line of the second paragraph should be after the ‘which’ not before it, if you have another after ‘curiously’.
Also I think there should be a word or some punctuation after ‘footprints behind me’. I can’t work out how the sentence fits together.
A very solid piece, I want to know what happens next!
