you are out at night by the sewers, hunting. you are a succumbus that needs human male flesh to survive and maintain your powers and immortality. you spot a boy walk just above the road where the sewers met underneath. you tackle him, more like a pounce at him, pushing him over the edge. your mouth opens wide, showing rows of teeth before biting in his neck, destroying his vocal cords so he can’t scream. all that comes out is the gurgling of his blood as you feast.

in the middle of eating you hear something rustle in the darkness of the sewers, your head jerks to look, your glowing yellow eyes meet something else’s yellow glowing eyes. you squint, blood covering your face and white sundress. ‘are there others like me?’ you think. you get up, and leave the half eaten boy there as you walk closer to the sewers. the eyes are gone now but your too curious to ignore it. a red balloon floats out of the darkness of the sewer. it floats there, completely still like it’s defying gravity. suddenly the balloon pops, earning a yelp out of you as a clown takes the balloons place.

the clown just stares, his expression almost… confused, intrigued, curious… annoyed?

“you stole my meal.” the clown mumbled, witnessing the whole thing.
