The Breaking Wheel Name: The Will Brothers BACKGROUND STORY The Will Brothers are triplets born with dwarfism. They were abandoned by their parents at a young age and had no one to rely on but each other.
Luck smiled upon them when their abnormal stature caught the eye of a theater owner, who adopted them and put them to work in his theater troupe, providing them with just the stage they needed to mask their appearance and earn a living. However, their contentment didn't last long. The theater owner mysteriously disappeared after a performance, after which the three brothers also went missing. Several days later, a bizarre artist appeared on the street. Clad in a cloth bedspread and wearing a mask, this eccentric figure began performing a strange play through a series of inelegant contortions.
His most often-performed scene involved putting on three masks and squatting down beside a broken wheel, playing a father, mother, and child at the same time.
"Do you see? A broken family is like a broken wheel."
"Should any piece be taken away?"
"There is absolutely no way to move forward." Whenever night fell, and only the last spectator remained before him, he would lift the cloth cover from his body and ask his horrified audience: "Have you seen our parents?"
The following day, another local would be declared missing, and a pile of crushed remains would lie rotting in a quiet corner of the city.
