David Lannarck, Midget / An Adventure Story

The story follows a small circus performer who, weary of being stared at and bullied, leaves the show after a life-saving encounter with a tall Westerner and relocates to ranch country to pursue a quieter existence. Paired with his new companion, he confronts the hazards of frontier life—gunmen, thieves, rustlers and harsh environment—and repeatedly uses quick wits and circus-honed skills where physical force is insufficient. Episodes alternate between carnival reminiscence and western action, mixing colorful circus jargon, practical survival detail, and themes of belonging, friendship, and recalibrated identity.
