  Speaker 1: I was bone tired and starving that snowy night.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: The road was a treacherous white blanket, and visibility was
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: near zero. My hands gripped the steering wheel until my
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: knuckles turned white. Relief finally washed over me when I
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: saw the neon glow of a McDonald's sign and the snowstorm.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I pulled into the empty parking lot, parked my car,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: and trudged through the thick snow. Inside, the fluorescent lights
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: buzzed with an irritating hum. The place was eerily deserted.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Only two employees worked quietly in the kitchen. I shrugged
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: off the uneasy feeling creeping up my spine and walked
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: to the counter. A young man with greasy hair and
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: a vacant expression took my order, and he barely acknowledged
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: me as he punched in my meal. I found a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: seat by the window. The snowstorm raging outside the heat
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: inside made me feel slightly drowsy, but I couldn't shake
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the feeling that I was being watched. As I waited
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: for my food, my eyes wandered to the corner of
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the restaurant, where a clown statue stood. It was a
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: typical Ronald McDonald's figure, grinning eerily with his oversized shoes
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: and bright red hair.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I shivered and looked away.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Minutes later, I heard a sinister laugh echo through the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: empty restaurant. I jerked my head up, but the two
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: employees continued working as if nothing had happened. The laugh
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: sounded again, this time closer, more menacing. I rubbed my arms,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: trying to ward off the chill that had settled over me.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: The lights flickered in the brief darkness, I saw the
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: clown statue in a different position, its head tilted towards me.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: My heart pounded in my chest. Did you guys hear that?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: The employees didn't respond. They moved mechanically, almost if they
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: were in a trance. I turned back to the clown,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: but it was in its original position. I took a
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart. My food
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: arrived and I forced myself to eat, but the youngease
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: gnadded me. Half Way through my meal, I noticed a
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: message written in ketchup on my tray. Don't trust Ronald.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: My blood ran cold. I looked around, but there was
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: no one else in the restaurant. The employees were still
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: in the kitchen. I felt a presence behind me and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: spun around, but there was nothing there. The lights flickered again,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: and in the brief darkness, I saw the clown figure
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: standing in the corner watching me.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: This isn't real, It's just in my imagination.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I whispered to myself. But the fear was real, tangible.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I glanced at the window and saw the clown's reflection
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: grinning wickedly, but when I turned to look, it wasn't there.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: My breathing became shallow. I was panicking. I had to
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: get out of there. I stood up, my legs trembling.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: The restaurant seemed to close in on me, the air
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: thick and oppressive. I stumbled towards the door, but before
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I could reach it, the employee stepped into my path.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Are you okay, miss? You look like you've seen a ghost.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: His eyes were dark, almost predatory. My instincts screamed at
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: me to run, but my feet felt like stone. He smiled,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: but there was something off putting about a smile. If
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you'd like to accompany me back to the kitchen, I
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: might have some extra chicken burgers for you on the house.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Something about his tone, his expression sent a jolt of
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: terror through me.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I forced myself to speak. I don't know what's your name.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Come on, and it'd be a shame to waste good burgers.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I was hungry, so reluctantly I agreed. You're Teresa, right,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I remember from the order, yes, and you are Ronald.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Sorry I forgot my tag today. My blood turned to ice.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: The message in catchup flashed in my mind. I backed away,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: shaking my head. A smile faded, replaced by a cold,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: calculating look.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I turned and ran, my heart pounding in my ears.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I burst through the door, the cold night air hitting
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: me like a slap, but I didn't stop running until
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I reached my car. I fumbled with the keys, my
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: hands shaking uncontrollably. I finally managed to unlock the door
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and threw myself inside.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Locking it behind me.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I drove away as fast as the snow covered roads
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: would allow, not daring to look back. My mind raced,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: replaying the events in a nightmarish loop. A week later,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the news broke two employees at that McDonald's had been
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: arrested for the murder of three women. Their bodies were
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: found preserved in the freezer. One of the employees was
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: named Ronald. The news confirmed my worst fears. I had
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: been inches away from becoming their next victim. I like
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: to believe that it was the spirit of one of
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the Victtoms which saved me that day. Tom was always
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: a bit off. Working the night shift at McDonald's. Alongside him,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I saw things others didn't. He was quiet, always muttering
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to himself under his breath, eyes darting around as if
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: he expected the walls to close in on him. He
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: had these weird ticks, like he'd tap his fingers rhythmically
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: on the counter, almost like Morse code.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Or he'd suddenly start.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Laughing at nothing, a low, creepy chuckle that sent shivers
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: down my spine.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I often wondered what had led him to this point.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I knew his personal life was falling apart, parents, divorce,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: drug abuse, and a mountain of debt. They lived in
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a constant state of stress, barely holding it together. Still,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't expect things to unravel the way they did
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that night. It started like any other. Tom was taking
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: care of the drive through counter. It was around ten
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: when a car pulled up, music blair, drunk passengers inside
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Welcome to McDonald's. How can I take your order? Their
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: order was a mess of slurred words and giggles. Tom
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: and I exchanged a look. This was going to be
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a long night. That'll be twenty three forty seven. The driver,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: a guy with a baseball cap, turned backwards, handed him
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the money, then looked at his friends and spoke something
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: about him. Tom kept to himself and handed them their
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: burgers and coke and coffee.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Hey, you got our order wrong, idiot.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Tom's eyes twitched, but he remained courteous that the order
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: was right. The drunk guy insisted again, and this time
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: threw a cup of hot coffee at him. The liquids
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: scalded Tom's face and he recoiled in pain, a guttural
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: scream escaping his lips. The car erupted in laughter, and
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that is when something in Tom snapped. He turned on
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: his heel and walked out the back door. I froze,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: not knowing what to do. Moments later, I heard the
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: unmistakable clang of the tire iron. Tom had taken it
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: from the maintenance shed. He approached the car with a
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: look of pure, unadulterated rage.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: What the hell man?
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Before anyone could react, Tom swung the tire iron, connecting
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: with the windshield. The shop driver opened his door, but
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: as soon as he walked out, the iron rod met
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: his skull. The sickening crunch of bone echoed through the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: parking lot. Blood sprayed across the side of the car
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: as the driver slumped lifeless against it.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Panic erupted.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: The second friend, a tall, lanky guy, tried to run
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: from the other side. Tom jumped over, caught him by
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the collar, and smashed him head first into the window.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Tom stop, he didn't.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: He smashed the man's head in the glass again and
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: again till the cracks spread all over it. The man
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: fell with a bloodied face, and then Tom picked the
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: iron again and hit his head till it was smashed.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Tom's face was a mask of twisted satisfaction. The two girls,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: who were still in the car now attracted Tom's eyre.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: He opened the rear door of the car and tried
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to pull one out, but she bit him and then
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: proceeded to lock the door. Tom picked up a brick,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: his eyes locking onto hers, and then threw it twice
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: at the window glass, which refused to shatter. They whimpered,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: tears streaming down their face, Please don't. I wanted to
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: run to get help, but my legs felt like lead.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I dialed nine to one one.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Tom walked to the shed and returned with a can
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: of gasoline, in which he poured over the car, throwing
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: the remaining one on the driver's seat. You think you
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: can treat people like trash and get away with it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: He struck a match and tossed it onto the car.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Flames erupted it, engulfing the vehicle in a roaring inferno.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: The screams from inside the car were cut short as
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the explosion rocked the parking lot. Keep searing my skin
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: even from a distance. Tom why but he couldn't hear me.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Sirens wailed in the distance. Tom dropped the tire iron
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and got down on his knees, laughing maniacally.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: The police cars soon surrounded us. Release, Release Release.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: He kept on uttering as a policeman handcuffed him while
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the others tried saving the girls.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I just couldn't stop crying.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: My mind was numb upon witnessing the horror that had transpired.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Tom kept laughing like a maniac as they put him
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: under arrest. The parking lot was a scene from a nightmare, bodies, blood,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: and the smoldering remains of the car. I'll never forget
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: the look in Tom's eyes, the cold, calculated fury that
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: had driven him to madness. It wasn't just the coffee
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: or the insults. No one truly knows what one goes
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: through one's mind. I had always been cautious about dating apps,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: but when Brock's profile popped up, there was something endearing
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: about his awkward smile and honest bio. We had exchanged
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: messages for weeks, and I felt an inexplicable connection. That's
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: why when he asked me to dinner at McDonald's, of
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: all places, I found it quirky rather than off putting.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I didn't know then that it would that it would
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: be the worst night of my life.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: The evening started normally.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Brock was a tall, lanky guy with tussled brown hair
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: and eyes that flickered with a hint of nervous energy.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: He seemed pleasant enough, but as we waited in line,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: I noticed him fidgeting, glancing around like a trapped animal.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I brushed it off as first eight jitters until he
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: saw the clown. McDonald's had a man dressed as their
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: mascot Ronald McDonald, moving from table to table, greeting families.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: The moment Brock's eyes lay on him, his entire demeanor changed.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: He went pale, and his breathing became rapid and shallow.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Are you okay?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Rock?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: That clown? Why do they have moving mascots?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I I didn't understand what he meant, but I tried
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: to calm him down.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: We took our seats, but his eyes never left the clown.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: He barely touched his food, mumbling under his breath, his
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: hands trembling.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I could see sweat beads forming on his forehead. Rock,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: talk to me, what's going on. He's watching us. He's
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: here to get you. I have to protect you. You're
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: kidding right. One of them had me as a child.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Never again. No.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I thought he was joking, but his voice had a
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: desperate edge. When the clown approached our table, Brock's reaction
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: was immediate and terrifying. He lunged across the table, knocking
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: our trays to the floor, and grabbed a metal tray
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: stand stay away from her. The clown, bewildered, took a
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: step back, but it was too late. Broc swung the
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: tray stand with all of his might, striking the man
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: in the head, but the clown cried in pain. People
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: screamed and parents shielded their children's eyes, but Brock didn't stop.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: That is when I knew that there was something wrong
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: in his head.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Rock stop, please, he didn't hear me. Blood poured from
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the clown's head as.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: He collapsed to the floor, but bron kept hitting him,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: each blow more savage than the last. I could see
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the life braining from the man's eyes, and it was horrific.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: People tried to intervene, but Broc turned on them, swinging wildly.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: He grabbed a chair and smashed it over a man's back,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: kicked a woman who tried to pull him away, and
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: even threw scalding hot coffee at a bystander. Two men
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: grabbed him from behind and offered momentary respite to the clown,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: but Bronc was strong. He pushed his weight on one
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: man and crashed him into the wall, setting himself free.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: He then punched the other guy in the face, knocking
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: him out cold. Then he looked at the bleeding clown
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: and lunged at him, sitting atop his chest and hammering
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: punches on the poor.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Man's face again and again.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: The restaurant was in chaos, with screams and cries filling
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the air.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Hock, stop, you're harding people.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I tried to pull him back, but his strength in
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: that moment was monstrous. He shoved me away and I
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: hit the ground hard, my head snapping back. Pain exploded
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: in my skull and I felt a warm trickle of
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: blood down my neck.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I knew I had to call for help.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: My vision blurred as I fumbled for my phone, dialing
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: nine to one one with trembling fingers. I didn't really
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: hear what the operator said. I watched Bronc continue his rampage.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: He had grabbed a knife and was stabbing the clown's
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: lifeless eyes while yelling out loud. It was beyond gruesome.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It was a nightmare come to life. I could hear
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: sirens in the distance, but it felt like they were
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: taking forever. When the police burst in, Brock was still
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: in his frenzy. They shouted at him to drop his weapon,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: but he didn't listen. It took several officers to subdue him,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: wrestle him to the ground as he screamed about the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: clown coming for us. They had to tasee him twice
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: before he finally fell down. The aftermath was a blur
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: of flashing lights, paramedics and police questions. Newspapers later reported
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that Brock had been diagnosed with schizophrenia as a child.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: He had a profound fear of clowns stemming from a
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: traumatic incident. The stress of our date and then unexpectedly
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: seeing the mascot there must have triggered a severe psychonic episode.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: This was, without a.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Doubt, the worst first date anyone had ever been to
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: in her life. Assass
