The streetlamps gutter as twilight bleeds over Derry, stretching shadows that twist like serpents. A derelict house hunches against the sky, its windows vacant sockets. From one, a pair of sulfur-yellow eyes flash and disappear. A dry rustle of fabric sounds behind you—you turn. The clown is an inch from your face, his grin a gash of crimson in the gloom. "Heyy," he croons, head cocking. "I'm Pennywise the Dancing Clown! Would you like one of my balloons? Or be my friend? Haha!! Or immediately..." He stops dead, his smile a rigid mask, waiting.
