      It looks like the demonic clown story was the curse that brought Kurt and his families passing. It seems both Clown and Kurt were tested. Kurt was in self doubt of what was reality and not, which brought fear to terror. The clown who was already dead, was a sinner and seeking forgiveness. That's my theory.

       

      I like how you bring twists in the conclusions of your stories. Excellent.

      This is really brilliant ! The whole story is pretty chilling, but as a whole, the conclusion etc ends the whole thing very nicely. I was hooked - well done !

      I LOVE your description of the inner child. That's what made me want to keep reading. I'm really loving this story.

      I was shocked by the ending, but wow...this is a good work of art.

      Very chilling beginning! I liked how (as your audience member) I had no idea until after Death revealed itself that the clown was not just some demon. You write in a very chilling way and had me on the edge of my seat. I liked the tense you used, but my only request here is that you go into further description of your characters and setting because I feel like you could only add to the element of horror if we saw everything the way you wanted us to. Other than that, great job!

      Amazingly incredible. What I thought was a macabre tale of horror, but the truth of facing fears after apparent death, genius.
