The boy woke up startled and sat up quickly. When did he fall asleep? The sleepless nights were wearing him down, but he couldn’t sleep or they’d get him.
Outside a car passed by, briefing lighting up the room. That’s when he noticed it on the other side of his bedroom window. When the light faded, he could still make it out in the darkness. Those piercing eyes, sharpened teeth, funny hair, and face paint. The clown licked its lips and smiled at him.
He clenched his teddy bear tightly for protection and mumbled, “Can’t sleep. The clowns will eat me.”
