Nothing to Laugh At

Eight years ago, John was haunted by the clown. A despicable clown that only he could see. It took everything from him then, but he managed to escape before it could take him too. Eight years later, as he sits at the café on the corner, it returns. Unknown to space and time and others' eyes, it has come to make John choose to give up his life or uselessly run from something he can't defeat.As John runs from the hollow gaze of the ever-nearing clown, he is forced to question his importance to the clown and his very own sanity. He frantically searches for answers while knowingly sacrificing friends and loves to the demon, hoping to finally be rid of the monster that refuses to let him live in peace. He knows he's no one special, living a monotone life full of routine, but yet the clown only visible to him seems to desire him above all. This leaves John to wonder if it's possible to find a way to be rid of his foe or give up his benign existence so that the clown can finally have what it wants.
