Transcript

Ms. Parker:Katie! You'll spoil your-

Jake Parker:Mom, you'll be back soon, right?

Ms. Parker:Yes, i will baby, but Sara will take good care of you while i'm gone. I promise.

I'm afraid Katie's imagination has been acting up lately. She's been going on about this clown that has supposedly been. Jake's started to get in on the whole charade too. I don't understand it really, since he is terrified of clowns.

Sarah, the clown man is looking at you.

Sarah looked where Katie is pointing at, only to see nothing. Katie then started to laugh.

It's okay Katie, he's hiding now.

...Okay.

Sarah:I know that you told me not to touch anything in the room but is it okay for me to cover the clown statue from the corner of the room?

Mr. Parker:A what?

Sarah:The clown statue in the corner of the room. I was wondering if it's alright if i covered it up with a blanket.

Mr. Parker:Sarah...we don't have a clown statue.

Ms. Parker:Sarah, are you playing a joke on us? Because if you are, then it's not funny.

Sarah:Never mind. Sorry for the sudden call.

She was about to fall asleep when she heard a noise. It sounded like someone is inside her room.

All of a sudden she jumped and to the light switch.

Sarah:I swear to God, if i see you Mom, i'm going to kill you.

Sarah hit the lights and saw the clown standing next to her bed with a sadistic grin on its face and with a knife in its hand.
