 John is a fun loving, careless thirteen-year-old boy, and it so happens that today is his birthday! He is currently in his room, doing who knows what on the computer. He seems to be very busy at the moment, but soon is interrupted, as his dad kicks his door open, averting John's gaze from the computer, and transferring it onto his father. After some time of awkward silence between father and son, John's father clears his throat, and begins singing. "Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you." As his father was singing, John noticed the home made cake in his father's hands. Upon hearing the song end, John lazily walked over to the cake, and blew out the candles. John then proceeded to accept the cake, and thanked his father for the cake. His father flashed John a proud fatherly grin before leaving. Just as he left, John plopped his cake down on his bed, and asked himself, "What now?" John spent a couple minutes pondering on that thought, then it hit him like a pile of bricks.

        "Aha! Now that I'm 13, and am responsible enough to take care of myself, I can finally go into the woods that I was forbidden to enter!" John smiled to himself, thinking that it was a perfect idea. He climbed out of his window, sneaking past his dad, and headed towards the dark, quiet woods. Right before he entered the woods, John heard a gunshot in the distance. "Did that come from my house?" John questioned. He soon shrugged it off and proceeded to walk. As he got deeper into the forest, he started hearing soft honking. He came upon an old abandoned house. Just as he was about to enter, he heard a honk from behind, and everything soon became black.

        The next thing he knew, John was tied up, every inch of his body was in pain, and there was a clown caked in blood, pacing back and forth in front of him. "HONK! I see you're awake. JUST IN TIME FOR YOU'R DEATH!" The killer clown screeched. He took out his spiked clubs, and began beating John. Killing him in only a few seconds. 

"HONK!honk.HONK!honk." Went the killer clown as he looked for a new victim.

"Happy Birthday John." :O)
