24 | _"[Tell us a joke][]" everyone asks of the clown. | ||
25 | He sits on a log and begins to think. | ||
26 | Everyone waits gap-mouthed in anticipation. | ||
27 | A slight breeze ruffles the clown's coat, his pompom buttons, [his bright red hair][]. | ||
28 | His nose becomes redder in the cold. | ||
29 | Hours pass. | ||
30 | All but the most dedicated of joke listeners leave him to rot ~~for all they may care~~._ | ||
31 | |||
32 | _The clown opens his mouth to speak but no words come out. | ||
33 | A tear falls down his cheek, and another. | ||
34 | He begins to sob. | ||
35 | The last joke listener comes over to comfort him. | ||
36 | She puts a hand on his shoulder. | ||
37 | He looks up at her, red face, red nose, white lips, and says ~~"Thank you."~~ | ||
38 | He vanishes from the clearing. | ||
39 | The last joke listener sits on the log and looks up at the sky. | ||
40 | [The moon is full.][] | ||
41 | The world creaks on its axis._ | ||
42 | |||
43 | Paul looked up to the space on the wall where a window should be. | ||
44 | The shadow of his face wavered in the candle light. | ||
45 | He looked back down at the card he'd been writing on. | ||
46 | He read the card. | ||
47 | He crossed out the _for all they may care_ in the first paragraph, and _"Thank you"_ from the second one. | ||
48 | "[What could he say][]" he thought to himself. | ||
49 | "What could he possibly say to her." | ||
50 | He went outside to clear his head with a cigarette. | ||
51 | He took his axe with him this time. | ||
