Finish the story begins with: “A body suddenly crashed through a plate glass window at the Brigadier’s house.”
‘Surprise!’ Shouted Bozo the clown.
The dinner party looked up startled by the rude intrusion. They were speechless which suited Bozo as he removed a rather ominous looking machine gun from under his clown attire.
The Brigadier looked at Bozo and said: ‘Now look here we didn’t order a clown.’
Bozo grinning from ear to ear looked around at the assembled group and then shot the haughty looking lady at the end of the table.
‘You sir are obscene!’ shouted the Brigadier.
Bozo who didn’t always attend school didn’t know what the Brigadier meant and so continued grinning, shooting a servant who had just entered the room.
‘What do you want?’ demanded the Brigadier
‘Freedom and liberation for clowns,’ he said mowing down all the guests. Then helped himself to the pate before leaving a small card on the table:
‘Clowns Are Us – What Are You?’

I knew there was a reason I’ve never liked clowns! LOL you really went left field on this one Michael 😀
Thank you Lyn, your comments are always appreciated. I think I live in left field.
Enjoyed the story.. i was thinking of ‘body’ as a ‘dead body’ only.
Thank you latasun, well there you go, surprised you didn’t I. Thanks for stopping by.
Shoot Michael, you had me laughing so hard! 🙂 I absolutely loved your story! Thanks again for participating in the MFtS challenge, and I hope to see you again next week! Be well… ^..^
Thank you Barb, the idea just popped into my head and away it went…..thanks for another fun prompt.
Glad that you liked it!
Party gone terribly wrong…
Don’t want such shoot & trigger-happy clowns!
Well narrated.
Thank you Anita, yes a party that went very wrong.
I too thought of body as a dead body. This is a great twist to the prompt! Loved the ending! ClownsRUs. Hahaha!!
Thank you Joy glad you enjoyed my story, appreciate you stopping by.
That guy is more like the Joker than Bozo, Michael. I’m afraid the clowns aren’t going to get far with that message. It reminds me of the movie about the clowns from out space. 🙂 — Suzanne
Yes well one has to suspect something dire coming the clowns way. Thanks Suzanne for stopping by to comment.
Sorry for the typo. That was supposed to be “outer” space not “out.”
Action packed dinner with a blood-soaked dessert ~ A smile works magic Michael ~ 🙂
Thanks John. I’m not sure they got to the dinner part as Bozo does sample the pate so maybe the dessert was left untouched. Appreciate you stopping by.
Wow! I’ll never look a clown in the eye again! Well done!
Thank you so much.
Scary things clowns! An ‘ominous’ looking machine gun! You bet!
Thanks so much Patrick.
I’ve never liked clowns and my opinion hasn’t changed after your story!
Ha….I have reinforced your view….
That is one clown I would really not like to encounter! Great story. 🙂
Thanks Louise, hope you have a good day.
Took care of business quickly, didn’t he? Rather horrible, Michael. I can see you smiling. 😀
Thanks Mandy, its scary that you are getting to know me so well….look out for today’s tale weaver prompt as I am hosting….
🙂 I will, Michael! I’m so happy to see you here today. You know I worry when you’re absent for a day or two. Hope all is well.
Yes all is good. Had a day out yesterday…..
Clowns seem to be a lot of people’s pet hate. They’re incredibly creepy – and you made good use of that in your excellent story. I’m not sure this clown’s cause would get much support after his bloodthirty act, either. 🙂
Thanks Millie, yes I don’t think he has a lot to look forward to either….lovely to see you visit again.
I lost track of you for a while, Michael, because I didn’t realise your blog was Morpethroad. I know – I must be dim! 🙂
Its fine Millie, I can be a bit elusive I know…come visit any time….
ha ha ha.. this one is too good! 🙂
Thanks Prakash glad you found it so.
Well that was rather grisly! Well done, Michael. 🙂
I’ve missed you the last couple of days. Hope all is well.
Dear Miss Izzy, I am doing ok. Any rumours suggesting otherwise are just wishful thinking.
Ah, well good. I can’t imagine a world in which anyone would wish anything but the best for you, Sir. Michael.
Thank you Miss Izzy that is a lovely thought. I could give you a few names to test your theory against…
Don’t bother, for I refuse to believe it!
Beware the clown bearing arms; he isn’t going to make balloon animals for you. They would just be target practice. And, of course, so will you.
Do you have a hate on for clowns? What would Freud make of this? Nice take on the prompt!
Clowns no apart from their scary appearance, I laugh with them like everyone else…..thanks for stopping by.
I decided to catch up on my reading, what a first story to read!! Your story confirms the fear many people have of clowns:) Well done, Michael.
Thank you Oliana, lovely as always to have you drop by. Next time I’ll put the kettle on.
I’ve not had much energy to read much lately or write too much. I like the idea of the kettle simmering:)
Its just a flick of a switch
Oh my!
I grew up watching Bozo the Clown & always wanted to go to the show & play the grand prize game. It never happened.
Oh well…
