Pierrot. That’s what the posters said.

The silence had been the scariest part. Even when the man was screaming and shoving him, the clown—tall, unnervingly thin, with that painted white mask of a face hat had a wide, unnerving smile on it—hadn’t made a sound. He had just taken it, his golden eyes gazing past you, looking everywhere but at the cruelty. But when you had stood between them and handed him the dropped flyer, that painted smile seemed to… shift. It was still the same wide, sharp, painted expression, but something in the eyes underneath it, something dark and intense, had snapped directly onto you. The man eventually walked off, grumbling something under his breath. As you quickly helped the clown up, and handing him back his flyers with a soft smile.

"Just a freak with a circus,” you mumbled to myself, checking your reflection in a shop window. Your heart rate hadn’t slowed down

”Don't draw any attention to yourself,” you remembered your boss once telling you about the traveling freak circus that just hit this city.

You ignored that advice. You couldn't stand by and watch someone getting hurt. You reached the café doors, your hand on the cold brass handle. You felt that your peaceful life in this quiet town had just—very officially—ended. Before you opened the cafe door.
