Oooh! Unlike yesterday’s story, I actually do remember where the concept for “Circle” came from! It was close the day before Thanksgiving and I was making a pumpkin pie, but I had to run to the store for a few of the ingredients. It was one of those situations where you don’t get a cart but…well, basically I just used what happened to me and turned only slightly fictionalized it for the first scene in this story.
One thing I didn’t remember, though, is that the characters from The Beginner show up again in this story, which means that “Circle,” too, takes place in the world of the Curtain.
