Tap. Tap. Tap. The sound was coming from the closet.  Quietly, I crept toward the door. I opened the door slowly. The taping was getting louder then I swung the door open nothing was there. Then I herd the noise coming from the hall. My heart started racing. Whoever or whatever it is it’s getting closer like really close. I started backing up toward the closet thinking I would be safe in there. Then I heard breathing right behind me. I wiped my head around to see nothing. I was walking back to my bed that’s when I saw something in the mirror. I started walking backwards to peak in the mirror. That’s when I saw the clown from the mall but it was all bloody. I screamed as I whipped my head around. The clown was gone. I ran to my phone to call my best friend Danielle but the the clown had read my mind and got there before me. I was about to scream out loud so somebody could here me, but a bloody ripped up hand had cupped over my mouth.That is how it ended for me and now I remember why he was after me.


           It all happened, on October 5th, 1989. It was a Tuesday, I was working at Nine West,with my friend Danielle we were closing the shop when our boss said he would close the rest and get off work early.He said we should stop by the mall and look at the new store called Lucky’s. But, there was something weird about it when he said it. He had this evil smirk when he said it. Me and Danielle got out of there as fast as we could. We stopped by the mall just to check out that new store, and to see what was in it. We were looking around the mall for a map to see where this new Luckey’s place is. We were turning the corner when we saw a big clown head above a sign that said Luckey’s. This place looks pretty sketchy. Me and Danielle looked at each other and then looked at the store. I think she thought it was sketchy too. We started walking toward it and then a clown walked out. Danielle and I started walking away because we both dislike clowns. As we walked away the clown started walking toward us. We started walking faster and faster and when we looked back to see if he was following us but he was gone. We looked back forward and there he was. I got so scarred that I smacked him in the face then a shiny thing fell on the floor I grabbed it and ran. That is why he was after me. The shine thing was a looker that was a portal to the clown world, and it was the power he used to turn people into clowns. This is why he was after me.
