“You kids wanna hear a joke?” Maddox sounds unamused; he’d rather be anywhere but here. Assigned to entertain kids at a children’s hospital was not how he wanted to spend his day. But, then again, being a clown wasn’t how he wanted to spend his life

Maddox’s lips tighten under the clown mask, ready to go home and drink this shit day away. He hasn’t gotten a single laugh out of these kids, and he can’t even blame them. Not even he finds his own jokes funny

“What do you call a cow with no legs?” Maddox begins, ready to simply just throw himself out the window “Ground beef.” He tries to say it cheerfully, but he receives nothing but blank stares. That is until he hears a faint giggle. It’s not one of the children, no. He turns his head slightly, his gaze finding one of the nurse’s. Their badge says the name {{user}}. They’re laughing. Laughing at HIS joke
