What’s up with this town?

“Hey! Keep your eyes on the road!” As Jenny was serious about the comment, even though it came out as a laugh. Something about taking a girl trip that gets everyone in a giggly mood. “I‘m watching girl! No one is even on the road right now” Danielle replied giggling as well. The two of them were the only ones on the road. They left way to late because Jenny just had to get her lashes done right before. “I bet Lily and Crystal are already at the hotel and according to the GPS we should be there soon.” Danielle said. Jenny picked up the phone to see the ETA and then put on some music. She was scrolling through the playlists, when Danielle violently swerved the car. The phone went flying and Jenny hit her head against the passanger window. “WHAT THE HELL!!!” Jenny looked over to see Danielles face, frozen in fear. “What’s wrong? Almost hit a deer?” Danielle was quiet, but her eyes slowly lifted to look in the rear view mirror. Jenny quickly turned around and saw nothing. “Girl are you tripping?“ After a couple of minutes, Danielle sighed and finally responded. “I’m sorry… I thought… well I thought I saw… Nevermind…” She started to drive again.

They made it to the hotel. Danielle was still a little shaken up, but was trying got play it off so the other girls wouldn‘t ask questions. Everyone had a great time and got a little to drunk. The next morning all the girls woke up in the same room, with the clothes they had on the night before and their makeup smeared over their eyes. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK “House keeping.” The sweet ladies voice sounded like an eagle screaming to the hungover girls. Jenny lifted her head up enough to speak as loud as she could. ”Go away” everything became quiet again and Jenny laid her head back on the pillow.

3 hours later the girls started to wake from their drunken coma. “Shoot! We really slept in” Crystal mentioned as she pointed toward the clock. “My head hurts…” Lily was laying on the floor face down. “All our heads hurt, its called being hung over.” Danielle rolled her eyes and got up. “Well what are we going to do today? We didn‘t just get away from our husbands and kids to spend time in a hotel drunk.” Danielle walked to the bathroom to change and get ready for the day. Jenny had one sarcastic comment before Danielle closed the bathroom door. “Uhhh thats exactly what we came to do.” Finally all of the girls were up and put together enough to leave the room “How does brunch sound?“ Danielle was looking at restaurants on her phone. “OOO MIMOSAS!!“ The other three girls yelled. When they made it to the hotel lobby something seemed off. No one was around. No staff, No other guests, it was completely empty. “Uhh did we miss a fire drill maybe?” Crystal sounded concerned. “I don’t we were drunk enough to miss a fire alarm.” Lily sounded confused by her answer, almost as if she didn’t believe her own words. “Well whatever the case, I’m starving! I’m sure people are here, they probably got hungry too and went on lunch break or something. Come on lets go” Jenny pushed open the big glass entrance doors.

They made it to one of the few resturants in the town. “Whoever picked this place for a vacation seriously needs to check the food options“ Danielle was hangry at this point. Standing in front of the resterant they saw only one server and one cook in the back, both didnt seem to notice the group of girls standing by the wait to be seated sign. “Hello?” Jenny finally broke the silence. The server was walking over to them. He looked sickly, his face was snow white and his nose was beat red. He wasn’t dressed in a normal black suit, instead he had a orange and blue checkered suit and his shoes were at least 5 sizes larger then they should have been. He was now standing right in front of them and they finally got a good look at his face. A huge scar started by his right ear and slit open to his mouth and continued on to his left ear. Almost like someone carved a smlie into his face. He looked at them with his dead eyes and whispered. “Run…” Then a loud bang in the kitchen and a huge man stepped out. He was seriously over weight and was wearing a torn up pink shirt. He also had a pale face with a red nose. But something was different about his smile. It was also cut open, but this time it was full of sharpened yellow teeth. For such a large man he moved very quickly. Now standing dirictly in front of them, he smile and said in a deep growl. “Order up!” He grabbed Lily before anyone could move and snapped her in half like a tooth pick. Blood sprayed as she screamed. With another SNAP she was lifeless. Folded in half like a picinc chair. The girls all screamed, covered in their friends blood, they booked it back to the hotel. Danielle made the mistake of turning around. She saw the large man take their friend and twist her in half. Danielle kept running but turned to the side to also puke. They made it to the hotel and rushed back to their room.

They slammed the door shut and locked it. “CALL THE COPS!!!” Jenny screamed while looking for her phone. Crystal collapsed on the floor, she was out cold. Danielle stood quietly, back against the door. She hear a little squeeking sound. The quietly motioned to Jemy to shut up. The squeaking became louder. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK “House keeping” Jenny reached for the door, but Danielle stopped her. “We don’t know whats behind that door.” She said in a very serious tone. But Jenny never listening opened it anyways. Danielle stepped back behind the door pinned to the wall. “Miss you have to help us... you see... miss...” Jenny was trying to tell this lady what they had just witnessed, but words weren’t forming. Danielle peeked though the peephole, it was a sweet old cleaning lady. As Jenny kept explaining, Danielle noticed something odd about the lady. It seemed like she was slowely gettting taller. Maybe she was just standing up straighter. Jenny didn’t notice, that within minutes this little old lady was now almost 6ft. Jenny finally noticed and got quiet. The lady put her hand on Jennys shoulder. “My dear sweet child, look how messy you are. Let me clean that skin of yours right up.“ she kept her sweet tone. Jenny looked at the woman’s hands to see her nails were actually talons, and before Jenny could scream, a talon slit her throat. Blood poured out faster then Danielle thought humanly possible. Jenny dropped to the ground and the lady wasted no time skinning her. Her talons sharper and more precise then a knife. Danielle knew better then to look this time. She heard something heavy get thrown onto the cleaning cart and could only assume it was her friend. She finally looked back through the peephole to see a big puddle of blood. She could see half the lady. Her shoes were way to big, like the boys in the resturant and under her maids outfit was a rainbow skirt. She whipped some blood away from her face and in doing so some skin toned makeup whipped off. Leaving a white stripe of skin on her chin.

Danielle remained completely still, it felt like hours had past since she had seen two of her best friends bruital murdered. Crystal was still passed out on the floor. Danielle finally closed the hotel room door and locked it again. She rushed over to Crystal. “Hey wake up! wake up!” She was shaking her but with no luck. Tears started to fill Danielles eyes. She didn’t know what to do. What were those things? Something seemed very familiar about they way the looked and dressed. Not being able to put her finger on it, she placed a pillow under Crystals head and started tearing apart the room for a phone. No luck. Panic was setting in when the hotel phone ringed. It was loud enough to wake Crystal up. She sat straight up and said. “It’s Micheal and the Boys! I gave them the hotel number in case they couldn't reach me on my cell. I have to tell them I’m okay! They can save us.“ Before Danielle could stop her, Crystal lunged herself to the phone and picked up. “Hello? Dear? Boys?” Danielle swallowed, her throat remained dry. They both stood waiting for an answer.

HA HA HA AH HA HA HA AH HA HA HA AH HA HA HA

Crystal dropped the phone. The laughing continued with a weirdly familiar song in the background. Then everything clicked. Danielle realized why this was all so familiar. The big shoes, colorful outfits, the white skin with the red nose and the smile. Circus music and laughing contunied on the phone.

“These things… They are… They are clowns…”
