Giggles Ain't Laughin' No More - #12 of 80

Artist CarnyVal - Linocut Print

Practice went very good.

Three times through their set without too many problems.

The last run through was flawless.

That is the great thing about Mondays.

No show means longer tent time.

Trixy drove out of the tent to park the car and Giggles followed walking slowly behind it.

Samuel was waiting at the exit leaning on the post.

“Hey Giggles,” Samuel said.

Giggles looked up and smiled a courtesy smile and walked by.

“Hold up, I need to talk to you.”

Samuel trotted over and Giggles turned to face him.

“Have you seen Smith? He never showed up to our morning meeting.”

Thanks for reading. If you haven't started from the beginning check it out here. If you would like to contribute some artwork to my next chapter message me on Twitter @odddustin 

We Are The Clowns - by Dustin Scott

We Are The Clowns - Pop Out Art Book Cover Art by Valerie Scott

For we are the clowns

Entertained by life and adding to it

Laughter is our bond

Paint your face and dress your body

We shall walk together under the big top

People may fear us but we fear nothing

For we are the clowns

Giggles Ain't Laughin' No More - #11 of 80

Artist - Dustin Scott

Giggles viewed the tent from behind the wheel.

He revved the engine to keep it running.

Flashes from the confrontation with Smith burned a ball of anger into Giggles’ nerves.

He gripped the wheel tighter.

Vroom!

Vroom!

Vroom!

Tightter, and tighter.

“She’s mine you fucking painted freak!”

Vroom!

Tighter.

“She isn’t a possession Smith! I can’t choose who she loves.”

Vroom!

Vroom!

“I can! And it won’t be you!”

Giggles lost control for a second and lurched forward.

The car came to an abrupt stop almost as fast as it lurched forward.

“Watch it Giggles! God Damn!” said Trixy.

Giggles shook his head.

“I gotta get in the game. Just get through practice and flip out later,” he thought.

Trixy popped in the car with the rest of the clowns and Giggles took off and drove into the tent.
