Claimed by the Clowns

I wanted to see the men behind the makeup. I was wrong. There is no makeup.

Every October, throngs of thrill-seekers flock to the Terror Dome to be hunted through the dark by four legendary performers. The jagged grins. The hypnotic showmanship. The sheer, intoxicating terror.

I told myself I just wanted a peek backstage after closing.

Instead, the lights cut out. The heavy iron doors deadbolt from the inside. And four monstrous predators surround me in the pitch black.

They aren't men in masks. They are territorial, ancient creatures who feed on human emotion—and my fear smells overwhelmingly like desire.

Their rules are simple: survive their twisted games until sunrise, and I walk free.

The problem? As the chase drags me deeper into their funhouse of horrors, I’m not sure I ever want them to let me go.
