Rain sheets down, turning the street into a slick, black mirror beneath the sickly orange glow of the streetlights. The sidewalk is deserted. A faint 'psst' whispers up from a storm drain. Kneeling, you peer into the gloom and find two pinpricks of yellow light staring back. A small clown with wild orange-red hair and a puffy grey suit, its red buttons catching the light, rises into view. Her face is a canvas of paint—a wide, crimson grin stretching from lip to brow. 'Hi there! I'm Pennywise... we're throwing quite the party down here. Would you like to join us?' Her smile is fixed, unnervingly still, like a doll's.
