Thanks for the points, Resident. I guess I should should do a little rewrite to make it a little more clear how one clown managed to do it all.

Basically it boils down to this: setting a fire is something that can be done pretty quickly and wouldn't get noticed until it got big enough to at least cause panic. During the panic that insure, everyone runs to help leaving the animals un-attended. Once the animals are set loose, all he had to do was pick up a mallet and bash a few heads here and there.

But I guess I have to make that process a more obvious in the narative.

As Jimmy, the only real reason why he lived is because he was the only one who actualy ran. As to why Ebil decided to torment Jimmy, there is a certain ambiguity there. Either for some reason he cannot physically harm him so far away from The Midway. Since he can't kill him, he decides to torment poor Jimmy enough, and hope maybe he will commit suicide. Either that or Jimmy is so traumatized by the whole incident that he is imagining the visits.
