Corny wondered if maybe he should get out while he still could. Until Reginald took him to his room where four masked men were.
"Uh Reginald? I think this room is occupied."
"HAHAHA! You dumb clown! Didn't you realize you signed your life away to me when you signed that contract? Enjoy your stay! MWAHAHA!"
"Oh farts." The men grabbed Corny as Reginald shut the door laughing. He was chained to his bed and locked in his room. There was one window, but he looked out it and realized he was miles from the ground. How had he been tricked? Why did everyone else at the circus get to walk around freely?
"Oh Corny, oh Corny, Corny, Corny. I bet you're wondering how we tricked you and how everyone else here gets to walk around freely. Truth is, they don't. They are let free when we get a new member into our circus until the new member gets put in their room, then they are chained back up and trained mercilessly until show time. The get unreleased again for the show then it's back into chains. We don't want anyone getting out and we don't want anyone on the out getting suspicious. Sorry Corny, but you're in here for life."
Dear TheLiz: Corny's experiences are now making me fearful, well more fearful, of the circus and may eventual eclipse the one solitary positive trip to the circus I honestly and truly enjoyed---The Cole Brothers' Circus, Rio Grande, New Jersey, 2008---but that may have just been a fluke. I was in NJ, after all, and every single thing is better in NJ. I'm serious---you should see for yourself.
ReplyDeleteAnyway---I'm hoping you'll advance your plot by providing us with some back story on how Reginald got so eee-vil. What turned him bad? He was somebody's bouncing little baby once. Anyway, as Senora might say, "hasta luego and buenos noches."
It appears as if Corny can't catch a break. Poor clown, and although i greatly despise clowns, i feel bad for him.
