Summary
Calliope music was carried over on the wind, and a dark sky reflected in the puddles at your feet. Uproarious laughter bounced off multifarious, peaked canopies—insubstantial as paint swirling in water—until the scene inexplicably changed: the only remaining object, a circus wagon with the visage of a clown painted on its side.
You had a thing about clowns.
As if by magic, the wagon would vanish into thin air, only to be replaced by a black, undefinable void.
It was as if time and space themselves were being manipulated, gravity breaking its own universal law. You stood motionless—or were you floating?

Summary
You watched as It descended, an angel struck from heaven, falling more than fifty feet to the dirt below. A shudder rocked the earth, and you fell backward, clutching your gut and landing hard on dismal, uneven ground.
“Is it your wish for me to suffer? Is it your wish to leave poor Pennywise all alone?” It asked, primed and ready to pounce like some cat born of the jungle, knees bent, five of Its gloved fingers planted solidly on terra firma.
“No, but—”
“—I waited for you,” Pennywise rasped scornfully, “though time means nothing to me, and everything all at once! I knew you before you were born!”

Summary
“Tell me,” you cried, “tell me what I have to do to keep you, I love you so.”
The creature stiffened with a trill of Its embellishments, frozen as if by ice. It hovered over you with an arched back, eerily silent and completely motionless—then it smiled, unnatural and unnerving, Its grin a sharp knife bisecting Its face.
“What you have to do…” It languorously began, pushing Itself up off the ground to take a knee, “is wait here. Wait here like a goood girl, and no matter what you hear—no matter what you think you might hear, you will stay put.
