I had always been afraid of clowns.
I don't know how people enjoy watching them in circus or movies.On my 16th birthday my best friend gifted me a toy clown that would pop out of a box whenever the key was turned.
It was probably a prank by her to annoy me but I still accepted the gift, reluctantly.The weird thing about that toy was that it would make a creepy laughing sound whenever it popped out.
Often at midnight the clown would pop out by itself and it's eerie laughter would wake me up.I used to ignore it but one night I was just laying in my bed. It was 12a.m. and I was staring at the box.
It opened, but the clown did not pop out.
Suddenly I heard a sound of laughter behind me.
