“This morning, two more victims were sadly added to the list of those found dead due to this ‘mystery killer’. No one has any idea on who the murder may be, but we do hope that you all stay safe out there.”

“I just can’t believe it Jen, that’s the fourth attack this month if I’m correct. I’m sure there are two questions on everyone’s mind right now. Who is this person and what exactly are their motives?”

“You’re right there Tim. Well, that’s all we have time for today. Remember-”

“It was Laughing Jack,” A boy spoke as he turned the television off. “That’s the only explanation behind it.”

Fed up with the constant, repetitive notion made by the boy, his father spoke up between gritted teeth. “Scott, you can’t be serious. Just give up that crap about Laughing Jack.”

Scott scoffed. “Oh yeah, then what’s your explanation on it, hm?”

“He is not real, Scott. When will you accept this? Laughing Jack is just a stupid story made up by someone with too much time on their hands to get insolent children to behave!” His mother yelled. “The only explanation behind these murders is some psychopath who doesn’t have his head screwed on right! Plain and simple.”

“You’re wrong. You’re both wrong!”

Scott threw his plate at the ground and stormed off to his room, no longer feeling hungry. Every time he brought up his ideas or views on Laughing Jack his parents, and most of the people he knew, would basically laugh in his face and tell him he’s being ridiculous. He never found it to be fair in the slightest. It felt like he was living a life controlled by other people where individual thoughts and opinions were frowned upon. It had always been you either be one with the crowd and do as they do or be dead. There was never third option. Until the widespread story of Laughing Jack was brought back into the limelight 15 years ago, when Scott was merely a toddler.

He pulled up a chair and got straight into his work. He knows the truth, as do few other people. They founded an online group only a few short years ago. The site had quickly become popular with Laughing Jack fanatics and with those just wanting to know more about the crazy clown. Those that do know of him have made it their mission to spread the truth to the world, no matter what difficulties lay ahead of them.

Ah, my first Creepypasta story. I'm honestly so nervous and worried about how this will go since I've never really written one down before. But anywho, it can't go too badly, right? 
I know this bit is short, but I swear the first actual chapter will be longer. 
Still, tell me what you think of it, if you don't mind that is. 
Vote, comment, fan... Whatever floats your boat.
