Jonno's Circus

Ch.1: The Clown

"Chhshhhh!" The sound of bus door closing. The quiet sound of Mandies high heals "Click, click ,click." as she finds a seat on the bus. As the bus starts to move she pulls out her journal and starts to jot down what her therapist had said. As she looks up from her page she spots this dark, creepy figure, she swore she was the only one on and they hadn't made any stops. The figure slowly turns back and gives her a smile. The figure looks as of a clown, grimy teeth with an even worse grin, whites of his eyes were nothing but yellow, pupils is all there was not even a color to his eyes just pure black. Mandie tries not to make eye contact but its hard because all he's doing is staring at her smiling, and then he starts to wave. Mandie couldn't help but to hold her tears back feeling the awful chill down her spin, its as if life had left her face leaving as pale as snow. She can just feel the lump in her throat growing bigger slowly choking her. He starts too move further back till he's In the seat right next to her. The Clown just sits there and smiles. She can feel his breath against his face, he stinks of death, Mandie believes its the trash bag he keeps a tight grip on. She has an idea of what's inside but doesn't want to believe it. Finally its her stop, Mandie slowly works past him, his eyes keep on her. " Chhshhh!" the doors close behind her and the bus drives away. Mandie lets out a sigh of relieve. She walks up to her apartment door, as she reaches for the keys they drop to the floor, she bends down to grab them and feels a chill down her neck. Mandie chooses to ignore it and unlocks the door. She goes inside, and turns the heavy lock on the door, as she turns around she drops everything she was holding, and with a screech she find the clown standing in her living room smiling and waving at her, he lets out a slight chuckle and Mandie quickly unlocks the door and runs to neighbor Annie's house. (Annie was her best friend, they made an agreement when they were little to be neighbors.) Mandie bangs on Annie's door

"ANNIE! ANNIE LET ME IN!"
Annie opens the door. Mandie barges in.

"Mandie-" Annie was cut off

"LOCK THE DOOR LOCK THE DOOR!" Mandie screams.

"Mandie what in sam hell is going on?!" Annie asked as confused as ever.

"HE'S HERE!"

"Who's here?!"

"THE CLOWN HE WAS IN MY APARTMENT!"

"What clown Mandie?"

"FROM THE BUS THAT CREEPY MOTHERFUCKER IS HERE!"

"Mandie take a deep breath. Ill get my gun and we'll go look if he's still there."

"ANNIE! ANNIE NO!"

"MANDIE get your shit together!"

Annie grabs her gun and they head to Mandie's apartment. "Stay behind me." Annie tells Mandie as she holds the gun out to be ready to shoot. Annie pushes the door open and they look around...nothing.

"Mandie there's no one in here!" Annie exclaims rolling her eyes.

"There was i swear he was right there!"

"Mandie, have you been taking your pills?"

"Im not crazy Annie. I know what i saw."

" Oh honey I know your not, but please try to remember to take your pills."

"But Annie I-"

"Now listen Mandie, your gonna go to bed and ill see you in the morning for tea."

"But-"

"Go get some rest!"

Annie walks out the door, Mandie quickly locks the door. She lays in her bed, tossing and turning. The dream was happening again only its changing...
