The Tank

The home of The Amazing Serpent Woman, the star attraction of The House of Freaks. The tent walls are adorned with plastic seaweed, interspersed with styrofoam starfish in assorted neon colors, scraps of chainlink fencing, and pages torn from an old A.S. Byatt novel. The focal point of this makeshift room is the large glass tank where melusina spends her working hours.

To the southeast, you see tattered silver streamers.
