So simple, so sweet, so honest! As an old man who tried to run away from an abusive father at the age of nine, I identify, deeply and sweetly, with the protagonist of this brief tale. Thank you!

I would read a whole novella of this beastkeeper and their wizard and their creatures.

That was delightful.
I liked that the circus people took good care of him and taught him things, and I loved his later relationships with the creatures.
