Everyone in the circus hated Sergei. He was a mean, vindictive douchebag. He claimed to be of royal Russian blood, but everyone suspected he was a gypsy. How he found his way to being the top elephant handler in the biggest circus touring the U.S.A. was a complete mystery.

No one was surprised when he turned up dead. Not after the way he treated Jimbo, the star elephant. It was savage. Everyone blamed Lance, the knife thrower. But it wasn't him. I just used his knife. Jimbo was my friend.

After all, who would suspect Giggles the Clown of murder?

    Jimbo won't forget you Giggles for truncating his tormentor.

    Thanks for reading, everyone.

    Dr., there are two flaws with that thought. Elephants can't talk. Or wield knives.

    If talking elephants are a common occurrence to you, Dr, perhaps you should change your surname to Doolittle. :)
