Under the Big Top 

Ernie’s always clowning around, even during sex. He has spent his entire adult life working in the circus, a job with perks he never anticipated when he first donned the greasepaint. In nearly every town the circus visits, at least one clown groupie finds Ernie, seduces him, and leaves him satiated without him ever revealing what he looks like without his clown suit and painted-on face. But does such an arrangement satisfy Ernie? And is it true what they say about men with big shoes?This short story from Michael Bracken contains graphic content of a highly sexual nature and is strictly for adults only.
