I'm Claurice Ryland. It's my Birthday today. I'm turning 6 years old. In the weeks coming to my birthday I've been having strange Nightmares. In all of my nightmares there's been this creepy clown. He holds a red balloon and says "Happy Birthday Claurice!" In a very cheerful voice. But then he looks at all my friends and cousins and says "Follow me," in a dark voice "It will be fun," He said. He takes everybody, including me, into a dark empty room. Then I hear is screaming. And then "You're next, Claurice!" And then I wake up. What if it's going to come true? I'm scared. I've tried to tell mum, but she doesn't listen. I've tried to tell dad, but he's to busy filling out papers for work. And today they're really busy. But that also scares me. What if that clown comes to my party and kills us all? Mum and Dad won't be there to save us, they'll be busy.

"Clairice!" Mum Yells.

"Yeas mummy?" I answer.

"You're going to be late for your Birthday Party!"

"Coming mummy!"

I run downstairs to the garage and hop into the car.

"I had another nightmare last night, it was about that creepy clown again," I say.

"Mhm that's wonderful honey," Mum answers.

"You're not even listening!" I say.

"Sorry what?" Mum answers.

"See?" I add.

The car zooms off. My party is at "Lots-o-Fun Children's Entertainment Centre" it hasn't started off very well, three kids went missing aster they walked into this dark empty room. It's pretty scary. Obviously mum and dad wouldn't know that. They'd be too busy not listening!

"We're here," Dad says.

"Yay!" I say as I cheerfully hop out of the car.

Mum and dad and aren't going to come out. I'll just go in without them.

The place looks run down. It sort of looks like some place I'd find in Dandenong.
