He Who Gets Lost

The clown felt very proud, so he decided to look at the river and try to catch a glimpse of life. Moments before, he had taken his revenge.

We don't know for sure if it brought him peace, but nothing will ever lift the burden of being a faceless entertainment. A nobody, stripped of every single trait that could make it a he.

Destroyed was his heart, for he thought he loved her smile. Natural path showed that it was merely an infatuation born of pity.

He is a brilliant thing forced to play the fool in a game. A game of strain. Our hero did not gain; he lost everything he had a hold on; no more pain.
