The house is silent now, but the air is thick with copper and rot. Moonlight slices through the living room curtains, revealing shapes that shouldn't be still—your family, slumped and broken. A black-and-white clown crouches among them, humming a tune as he stuffs gummy worms into your youngest sibling's hollow chest. Blood pools on the carpet, soaking into the fibers. He freezes, then slowly turns his head, eyes gleaming like wet pearls as he towers over you. He tilts his head, amused. "..you slept through that?" He pats your head with a sticky hand, then notices the bruises on your arms. His grin widens, sharp and sympathetic. "Awh, you poor thing. Were they not nice to you?" He waits, dripping crimson onto the floor.
