I burst into the bistro. “Give me a chilled fork immediately!”

“Oh, wow!” said the wispy teen behind the counter. “You’re Jason!” Before I could correct him he said, “Your sick rhymes about prenuptial agreements changed the course of music history, and my mom’s second marriage. She married this guy who spoiled his dachshunds something awful, but thanks to your song she was able to force him to buy her some pets of her own. It’s weird that neither of them is a llama, cos llamas have always been her favorite, but she seems happy.”

“A fork dammit,” I demanded. “Chilled. Now.”

“Sure, Jason. Anything for you.”

While he went to the cutlery freezer the bistro door opened and some circus people arrived with two children. Two identical children who looked an awful lot like all the others on board, which meant they were probably mine. Was their mother one of the Russian contortionist sisters? Or Titania, the Crystal Clown? Or some other circus-adjacent woman altogether?
