To the crowd, I'm just a clown with a painted smile. To her, I'm the shadow in her hallway, the breath on her neck, and the monster who has decided she's my final act. They call me Smirk. I'm the silly clown who loves to entertain with a goofy smile painted on for the crowd. But paint peels. And then... people scream. They die. But not her. The woman with the long, dark hair and pretty little sunflower dress on in the first row. The one I can't stop staring at from behind the curtain. The one who haunts my dreams. The one I handed my rose to after I finished my performance. I am obsessed with my pretty little sunflower. I don't want to love her. I don't want to obsess. I only want to break her. Make her scream. And then I want to put the pieces back together into a masterpiece that is as twisted as I am. I am, after all, the greatest show on earth, and she's my guest of honor. Smirk is a dark stalker, serial killer, clown romance. Know your limits.
