The Clown of the Dark Night

The Clown of the Dark Night
In the quiet town of Rivertown, a sinister legend lurks in the shadows. Locals whisper about the Clown of the Dark Night, a figure said to appear when the streets are empty, the fog thickens, and the streetlights flicker. No one knows where he comes from, but those who claim to have seen him never seem the same afterward—if they are seen at all.

One fateful October night, 17-year-old Daniel finds himself walking home alone after a late party. As he moves through the silent, mist-covered streets, he starts to feel uneasy, sensing something behind him. When he turns a corner, he stops in terror—a tall, gaunt clown stands motionless beneath a flickering streetlamp. His pale face is stretched into a grotesque, carved-like grin, and his hollow black eyes seem to stare straight through him. The light flickers, and in the brief darkness, the clown disappears… only to reappear closer.

The next morning, Daniel is gone. All that remains are his shoes, abandoned in a dark alley, with a faint trail of red leading into the shadows. The police search for answers, but the town knows the truth—he was taken by the Clown of the Dark Night. Now, on foggy nights, some claim to hear slow, deliberate footsteps echoing through the empty streets, followed by the sound of faint, chilling laughter. And once you hear it… you’re next.
