Boost Mobile Short Competition:
1856.... an unfortunate boy is held hostage for a number of weeks by three drunken and twisted carnival clowns. They smear clown makeup on his face as he sits bound to a chair, calling him ""broken little clown""...but he didn't break. Managing to escape his bindings while the trio of clowns were away, he moves to a mirror and peers at his new face. He picks up a straight razor from the sink, and waits. This broken little clown is a victim no more.
1896...A man known only as CLOWN, with tattered worn clown makeup, joins with a traveling sideshow...The unsuspecting Township of Fable doesn't welcome ""their kind"". It's up to Clown to protect his "family" from the raging religious fanatics.
