No Laughing Matter
Berserko the Clown was just finishing up his routine for a room full of kids. There was nervous laughter. The kids looked frightened.
"Thanks so much, kids," Berserko said in a psychotic voice.
He started packing away his props while addressing the room full of silent children.
"You're lucky to have someone who cares enough to entertain you. I wasn't so lucky when I was a child...
wasn't...so...lucky...," he said as his thoughts trailed off.
"See you next time, and remember, kids, comedy is no laughing matter!"
He closed the door, leaving the sobbing, terrified children chained to the wall.

This started as a draft. I thought it was going to be two drabbles so I was just jotting down the essentials and then realized it was creepier not to elaborate as much as I wanted and to just leave it as it stood.

I really is creepy, Christopher. Chaining them to the wall probably stops them picking their noses though.

Brilliant, Christopher. You picked the perfect name, too. It would have been so easy to pick one that didnt work.
