Trey Nelson's Short Horror Stories

Clown on the Streets

I was walking home from school. It was an early out day, so I got to go home an hour early. I was about a block away from my house walking on the side of the road. I started hearing walking behind me. I started walking faster, I was scared. The reason I was scared was because the footsteps were walking right behind me. I didn't hear anything. I glanced behind me and was horrified by what I saw. About five yards away was a man dressed like a clown. I couldn't move, I was so scared. It was wearing yellow baggy pants, red hair and heavy boots. It had red paint on his nose and black around its eyes. I could tell it was staring right at me. It seemed like it was staring into my soul. He then smiled, He had a huge smile with crooked, yellow teeth. I started running faster towards my house. I glanced behind me, he had an axe in his hand and it seemed like he was faster than me. I got to my house and grabbed my keys out of my pocket. I unlocked the door and ran in and locked it again. It came up to the house and started banging on the door and screaming as loud as it can. I ran upstairs and hid in my closet. I thought I was safe when I heard glass downstairs break. I was behind a huge bucket in my closet. "I'm coming for you." The clown says in a very low, loud pitched voice. I hear it rummaging through the kitchen and living room. Then it started walking up each step one by one, slowly. Each step it took the more scared I got. It got to the top and opened another door. Then I heard it approach my bedroom door.I was thinking about giving up knowing I was about to die. But I'm not giving up. I saw a baseball bat. I reached for it and got it. My bedroom door opened. He looked under my bed, this was my chance. I got up and pushed him on the ground. Then I took the bat and knocked him out. I ran downstairs and grabbed the phone, I called the police and they showed up ten minutes later. They arrested him, he was still knocked out.
