Clown Breakout (#FridayFlash)

"The witnesses don't believe you were coerced."







  1. And this is another reason to hate clowns, and I do, so much.

    Too funny, this story. Your description of the greasy cop was excellent.

    Enjoyed it very much even though it made me shudder. Well done, Aidan!

  2. This was an absolutely hilarious story! The clown picture did bring the shudders, though. :)

  3. Gracie, thank-you it was fun to come up with those descriptions.

    Marisa, thank-you. I couldn't let the story pass when I heard Norman, OK was dressing inmates up as clowns because I immediately thought of scary clowns and how this couldn't be a good idea.

  4. This was inspired by something that is true?

    What an imagination. Love it!

  5. Something of a bizarre story. It's a prison break, is it? Agree the descriptions were cool, but I wasn't 100% sure on what happened here - or on why the pizza delivery guy ended up with the clowns in the first place.

  6. J.C., yes although I think people are exaggerating that the prison uniforms look like clown outfits (story link), but it did give me the idea.

    undiscoveredauthor, I think some confusion is caused by the unreliable narrator. He's telling the truth about getting stopped by clowns on the street when he was driving home after his shift; however 24 clowns is stretching it a bit. He's a little bit like Patty Hearst (although not anywhere near as extreme).

  7. That certainly put a hilarious picture in my mind! :)
