Pennywise

I’m on my bed, still awake eventhough it’s already late. I had a feeling that tonight was different than other nights. It was raining and quite stormy. The loudness of the thunder was what kept me awake. I was terrified of the thunder. I look around my room. It was dark and I felt colder than usual. Slowly, I cover myself with my blanket, hoping nothing beyond the ordinary will happen. Then I realized, I had goosebumps. I cannot believe this is happening. Then I heard something. I think it was coming from the kitchen. Despite being scared, I was still curious. What was it? Slowly, I reach my doorknob and opened it. I came out. Everyone was still asleep. That’s very odd, was I the only one who heard it? I ignored my thoughts and made my way to the stairs, equipped with only a torchlight. I walked down slowly and carefully. Then there was another sound. I stopped. It sounded like someone was gobbling up something. Holding the torchlight tightly, I pray to God, hoping nothing will happen to me.

I walked to the kitchen. Shockingly, I saw a clown. It was eating something. I was stunned. He was eating my brother. At that moment, I was unable to scream. I tried to escape slowly, but the clown noticed me. I frozed. He stood up. Blood was covering his mouth and he was giving me a gruesome smile. I couldn’t do anything. He said, “Hello”. I didn’t reply. He said his name. It was Pennywise. How I hope it will not eat me. He said, “Would you like to play?”. I quickly ran from the kitchen. I can feel that it’s chasing me. As I reach my room, I quickly lock the door, jumped on my bed and quickly cover myself with the blanket. I saw a shadow from the door. It’s him. I endlessly pray to God hoping it won’t come in. He broke the door. I kept myself shut. He pulled my blanket. He found me. Then he said, “Let’s play!”. He opened his mouth. I saw his sharp teeth and I knew he was going to eat me. I screamed as loud as I can.

Suddenly, I woke up. It was only dream. What a relief. As I got up from my bed, there was something by my side. It was blood red and, as if, floating. I turned slowly. It was a balloon. My eyes were wide open as if I saw something terrifying. I was shocked. I knew it’s him. There was a note at the balloon. It say’s, “Let’s play next time..Jeff.” There was a big gruesome smile. As if it, it was blood. I quickly went to bed. How I wish that it won’t happen again.
