"I remember waking once from a horrible dream, in which I looked down and saw the clown’s enormous mouth, its massive, wall sized face at the end of my bed and felt myself being dragged...dragged though I kicked and screamed, fighting against the covers.

A foul smell emanated from every part of him.

“Let me quickly put on something more appropriate,” she said as she made her way from the kitchen. He took another sip of his beer and burped. “Yeah. You do just that. I am going to be here waiting for you to get ready, my dear.” “Are you not going to change into anything else?” she called from the bedroom. “Anything else like what?” “Something different from that suit you have on, darling.”

She twisted her fingers and rubbed her chin. "I don't know. I cannot say for sure." "And so you think I would be the one to tell you what is wrong with you?" She looked directly into his eyes. "Yes, sir. Please. I am very confident that you can." He shook his head in disbelief. "You don't know what you are saying. Please, go and search elsewhere for solutions to your problems."
