I had always been afraid of clowns.
I don't know how people enjoy watching them in circus or movies.

On my 16th birthday my best friend gifted me a toy clown that would pop out of a box whenever the key was turned.
It was probably a prank by her to annoy me but I still accepted the gift, reluctantly.

The weird thing about that toy was that it would make a creepy laughing sound whenever it popped out.
Often at midnight the clown would pop out by itself and it's eerie laughter would wake me up.

I used to ignore it but one night I was just laying in my bed. It was 12a.m. and I was staring at the box.
It opened, but the clown did not pop out.
Suddenly I heard a sound of laughter behind me.
