A clown felt very proud and decided to look at the river, trying to catch a glimpse of life. Moments before, he'd taken revenge.

We're not sure if it brought him peace, because nothing will ever lift the burden of being a faceless entertainment. A nobody, stripped of every single trait that could make it a human being, a he.

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

He's a brilliant thing, forced to play in a game of strain. Lose everything and gain nothing; that's the rule for the fool.


| Inspired by the 1924 film He Who Gets Slapped by Victor Sjöström
