I and my husband James had planed to do a mid summer party for sometime now. We don’t usually get any time to plan with how our jobs can be sometimes. We had finally got time off on the same weekend, so we started setting every thing up for the party. I kept seeing little streaks of red, white, and blue out of the corner of my eyes. I shrugged it off thinking it was nothing so we could finish up.

Everybody came, James was making hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill, and I brought out all the cold food and beverages. Of course I was still seeing the streak that I saw earlier that day, still thinking I was just seeing things. After a few hours it started to get dark out so some of our friends left, because they had to go to work the next morning.

As I was talking to one of our friends that were still there, I started to feel like I was being watched. I looked around and noticed a creepy clown outside of the woods next to our house. He looked like a patriotic rodeo clown with a mask on and American flags on his back. But the way he was staring at me gave me the chills. He then vanished in a blink of an eye which had me thinking what was he and why was he dressed like that.

So I asked the rest of our friends that where still there if they saw a clown around the woods. All of them said they didn’t see anything near the woods especially clowns. So I asked them nicely to leave. Once they all left I went into the kitchen to grab my cell phone but there was no service, I then looked outside and there he was just outside the house. I was scared from this point on so I called out to my husband to come here. Once I heard him in the kitchen, I turned around to tell him what I saw but it wasn’t him, it was the creepy clown. I tried to run away but he caught me by my hair and knocked me out.

When I woke up, I looked around and noticed that we were not at home but in an old log cabin. All the windows were covered, the only light was from the fire place. Right next to it sat an old wood axe. I tried to move but I was tied to an old chair I then looked around again and noticed that my husband was tied to a bed unconscious. I tried to get the ropes off of me but to no avail.

I then heard the door opening and there he was the creepy clown, he went over to the bed and woke my husband. His reaction to the creepy clown was like waking up to a nightmare. The creepy clown said “Hello my name is Sam the patriotic killer clown” noticing the reaction my husband had given him. He then asked my husband if he liked clowns. My husband said “n-no. I hate clowns!” and in one swift action Sam pulled out James’ tongue and cut it right out of James’ mouth. I tried franticly to get out of the ropes but the clown laughed and said “you’re not going any where yet”.

Sam then looked over to James spewing up blood, Sam took a rag and stuffed it into James’ mouth saying “This should keep you from bleeding out to fast before I’ve hade my fun with you”. He then took his flags out of the back of his vest, at the bottom end of the flag were sharpened. He stabbed James in the legs with both of them making James wail through the rag in pain, causing the blood to come out of James’ nose like a waterfall.

He took his hatchet and slammed it into James’ chest. Sam then started laughing while his hatchet went into James’ chest over and over until there was a big hole in James’ chest. I tried not to watch but he told me if I closed my eyes that he would cut my eye lids off. He then proceeded to cut out James’ lungs and inflated them the like balloons. Sam did the same thing with his intestines and other organs tying them on what was left of James’ ribs. He then headed my way bent down and said “do you like clowns?” and I said “y-yes I do-do I like c-clowns”.

He then went back over to James’ body and took something out of him. Sam then left the room, after he didn’t come back for awhile. I tried to get the ropes off again only this time the chair fell onto its side. I then made my way to the fire place where the axe I had seen was and rubbed the ropes on the axe till I heard the rope break.

I knew that my husband was dead, so I ran out of the door as fast as I could till I got out of the woods, and back to civilization. I saw and ran into our house, then lock the doors behind me and called the police. They came to my house and looked in the woods, they found the old cabin then told me that they didn’t find the clown but they did find my husband. They then told me there were words above him written in blood on the wall that said “hope you like your gift”.

A few hours after they left, I then locked all the door and windows. I went to sleep but it was a ruff night reliving what had happened. When I woke up the next morning I found a gift box and a card on the nightstand. But how did he get in we never had keys outside and I’m sure that every ting was locked. But I read the card and it said “here’s a gift from your husband he was dying to give you but didn’t have the heart to”. My hands started to shake thinking of what it was going to be as I opened it and what I found in side the gift box made my blood go cold it was James’ heart.
