Being back in this town has brought up memories and feeling that I didn't know I had. Some of the memories I wish that I could forget and others I wish stayed with me. I left the others about an hour ago in a pair of black tights, a green singlet, a black cardigan and a pair of black shoes. But I had to get rid of the cardigan as it got caught onto a tree branch and I didn't know, so when I walked it ripped. I just walked around mindlessly, trying to think where I could find my token that Mike talked about but I kept coming up blank.
"It has to be somewhere" I mumbled to myself frustrated.
I felt this pull to the right of me and I stopped in the middle of the walk way. I glanced across the road and saw the park that I vaguely remember going to being as noisy as always. I looked back ways before I ran across and ran into the park. A wave of deju vu washed over me as I stopped in the park and it made me think of Ben. I racked my brain trying to remember why Ben was an important part of my life back when we were kids and I glanced around the park. My eyes landed on a small tree that had branches that covered over into a shade cover and it had bright green leaves. It looked like you could reach the first few branches by standing on your tippy toes and the longer I examine the tree, the more I wanted to remember everything. All of a sudden a memory of Ben and I having a picnic under the tree flashed through my head.
"Guess I'm in the right place" I mumbled to myself.
I stepped towards the tree and it looked just as I remembered it. A cold breeze blew through the park, which sent the tree swaying and my short turquoise hair everywhere. I pulled the hair band that I had on my wrist of and tied my hair up into a bun. As the breeze blew I caught a flash of aqua blue up in the tree and I walked the rest of the way to the tree until I was underneath it. I stood on my tippy toes and used my right hand to reach up into the tree. I felt around and all I could feel was leaves and branches until my hand touched something that felt like fabric. I grabbed it and pulled it out of the tree. I placed my feet firmly back on the ground and my focus drifted to the piece of fabric in my hand. It was an aqua blue bandana and I remembered that I wore this on my first date with Ben before I lost it.
"Never thought I would see you again" I mumbled.
I remembered that Ben got this bandana for me as a birthday present and informed me that he liked me the same day. I treasured it and wore it on my head everyday. I was devastated when I lost it on our first date. I tried to remember how I lost it but a chill ran down my spine and I came up blank. Bushes rustling next to me snapped me out of my day dream and my eyes snapped over to the bushes.
"Hello" I said creeped out.
The park became quiet and this laugh rang through the silence. The laugh casted a feeling of dread and reminded me of the last time I heard it. It was 1989 and Ben decided to take me out on our first date. When we got to the park he realized that he forgot something so he ran back to get it and I stayed sitting under the tree. I heard this creepy laugh and I glanced around a bit freaked out but I couldn't see anyone or anything, so I went back to waiting for Ben.
"Pay Pay" I heard a creepy clown voice say.
"Who's there?" I asked freaked out but got no reply.
The bushes next to me rustled and I quickly scrambled up off the ground. I faced the bushes and waited for whoever or whatever it was. These bright yellow eyes were staring at me and the eyes started to go up until I seen who they belonged to. I realized that it was a clown but I could feel that something was of about this clown. It was dressed in a silver suit with Mickey mouse white gloves and my eyes travelled up from the gloves to the clowns face. It had a white face, bald head, orange hair and a huge red clown smile. The clown laughed and it's smile grew until I saw sharp teeth.
