I skipped my way down to the hideout, to find the Losers looking down at the floor, clearly depressed.

"Wha-"

"Stan."

"He-"

"Got taken. To the Neibolt house."

I shuddered at the thought. I knew something was up with that house since I first passed it.

The sound of old Elvis songs filled my ears as I placed my elbow onto the car door. I softly let my head rest on my palm as I stared out into the neighborhood I would be spending my Childhood in.

This old dump?
It's so forgotten by everyone it's not even on the news.

It sure ain't no state capital.

I began to close my eyes until the car jolted and I opened them to see an old crooked house.

I moved back and studied it closer.

I shuddered as we drove closer.

This wasn't it right?

We began to pass and  I took a deep breath.

I noticed a small red figure.

I looked closer and saw it was balloons.
Red balloons.

The balloons swayed in the air as they almost let me see the figures face.

They began to drift to show a clown.

He was staring hungrily.

Almost furiously.

I moved farther back as he held out a ballon and let it drift into the air.

There was another bump and I fell to the floor of the car.

I got up and looked again, and it was gone.
