Others were so manifestly peculiar they’d have had a difficult time living anywhere outside of a circus sideshow or a loop: a bearded girl and her mother, a man in fancy dress who had a parasitic twin growing out of his chest, a freckled girl who had piercing eyes but lacked a mouth.
Reminds me of The Greatest Showman movie. Well, maybe they're actually peculiars? Hmm interesting weird ideas :))
