Once they entered the city, the daylight from the outside transitioned to twilight, as they entered into a different dimension. But one thing that bothered Lixon was the unusual quietness of the place. It's like a deserted city.
"What is the name of this place?" He asked even though he already knew the answer.
"Cairo," Damien responded.
He looked around to observe. First, Lixon saw some streetlights were illuminating their way, but the lights kept on flickering as if they would be gone at any moment. Then, after a few minutes of their walking, he saw a figure appear from a corner then walked towards them while playing the accordion.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
It was a male clown. He was singing in a voice that sounded like it came from the bottom of a pit. It was muffled.
When you walk at night,
Some eyes are staring at you.
Are they friends or foes?
You do not know.
In this night, who knows?
You can become a corpse without you knowing?
'What a creepy song,' Lixon thought.
The young man observed his other group members, but they looked like they were not noticing the joker in front of them.
Then the clown stopped on its tracks and laughed loudly. But the next scene made Lixon's heart almost jump. The clown's head flew towards them like someone cut it off, and then it landed near his feet.
