  Speaker 1: I personally felt weird about clowns, but dressing up O'ronald
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: McDonald's paid me. While handling fake smiles and balloons all
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: day to the kids, I barely got time to sit
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: or even go to the washroom that night, So when
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: it was just ten minutes before closing and the restaurant
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: had emptied it, I quickly rushed to release myself. Once
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I came back, the cashier told me a woman was
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: looking for me. I thought it would be just another
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: parent waiting to pose their kid with a hideous looking clown.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I asked the cashier where the woman they pointing at
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the exit. A frail, middle aged woman was standing outside
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the McDonald's. She was looking at the sky with a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: smile on her face. I walked up to her and asked, ma'am,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you were looking for me. She slowly looked down and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we made eye contact. In that very moment, a rush
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of discomfort flowed down my spine. I don't know why,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: but the woman stared gave me the creeps. She blinked twice,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: then said, my son, she wanted a photo with you.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: He just loves Ronald. I looked around, awkwardly, smiling. So
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: where is he? She thought for a second, then asked,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: who your son, ma'am. A pale sadness dawned at her.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: He's sick. Can you come with me? He's waiting for you.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I felt bad for judging her too quick. Poor woman
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: must have left the sick kid at home promising a
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: picture with me. Seeing me quiet, she spoke again, I'll
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I'll pay you if you see my son and click
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a photo with him. Any other time I would have
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: done this for free, but at that moment I too
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: needed the money bad, so I happily agreed. I went
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: back into the McDonald's, got my money from the manager,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and started following the woman to her house. On the way,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I thought she would explain what's going on with her son,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: but surprisingly the entire time, she didn't even mention the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: kid once. She just kept walking ahead of me quietly.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I guess she was already worried about her life, so
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't bother with any more questions either. As we
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: walked houses past us, streets that led to those houses
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: went away, but we didn't stop. I wanted to ask
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: her where we were going, but again I hesitated. After
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: walking for fifteen minutes straight, we left the suburbs and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: got onto a narrow, dusty road. I was getting really confused,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: so finally I asked her, how far is your house?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: She stopped, suddenly turned back and looked at me like
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I had said something stupid. Why would I take it
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to my house, she said, with confusion on her face,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to see your kid, You said, your son. She didn't
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: let me finish. Oh, no, my son is not at home.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: He is waiting for us at the cemetery. The nonshill
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: long tone of her voice sent a shiver down my spine.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: What the hell is going on? Where is she taking me?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I asked her why her son is at the cemetery,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: but she didn't reply anymore, just kept walking. A hint
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of shady business alerted my mind. But then I thought,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I'm six foot tall, weighing one hundred and seventy pounds.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, this woman as thin as a twig.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: What harm could she do me? Also, she said she's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: going to pay, so let's see what she's up to.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We did stop outside a cemetery, pushing the rusty, creaking git.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: She took me to a child's grave. That's when the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: truth hit me. Her son is already dead, pointing at
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: an epitaph that read, our beloved Michael sleeps here in peace.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, tell him a joke, he will laugh. Her wide,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: with doll like eyes fixed on me, was waiting for
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: me to follow her instructions. No matter how creepy it was,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I could fathom the underlying grief in her stare. I
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: played along, not for the money, rather to provide some
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: comfort to this mother grieving for her lost child. I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: told a lame joke, and for a second the silence
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: of the graveyard prevailed, and then I heard a chuckle,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a chuckle of a child. It's right to say. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: was on the verge of having a heart attack when
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I heard the chuckle again, but then realized it was
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: her eyeing at the grave. The woman was laughing like
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a kid. This continued for probably a few seconds, but
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it felt like eternity standing in a graveyard with a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: deranged woman in front of her child's grave. There, I
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was creepy, asked Ronald McDonald. Felt less scary at that moment.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I couldn't play along anymore. I turned around and started walking.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't run, because if that woman chased me, I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: definitely would have had a heart attack. I walked faster
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and faster. She screamed from behind, Wait, Michael wants a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: picture with you. Waits. I could see her following me,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: but she was physically weak, hence couldn't match my pace.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: She kept pleading with me to come back, but I didn't.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: That was the last time I took the gig to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: dress as Ronald. I feared the woman would come again
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the next day, asking me to go back to the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: grave of her dead son, because every kid wanted to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: click picture with Ronald McDonald's. Last week, my sister went
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: on a business trip, leaving my nephew at my place.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: My nephew loves me because I have always been the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: fun uncle for him. There was no strict bedtime or
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: constant banning of fast foods at my place. We had
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a fun week, and on our last day together, we
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: decided to go to McDonald's for burgers. When we reached,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the first thing that caught my mind was how busy
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the restaurant was. I placed the order and picked up
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the food. Just then my nephew pointed to a seat
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: where a middle aged man was also sitting. I didn't
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: think much and we sat down there was a long
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: cut mark on his right cheek that appeared pretty fresh.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Happy meal. Huh, let's see what toys you got. Ricky
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: looked at me with timid eyes, and I nodded at him.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: He showed his minion toys to the man. The man
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: took a keen interest in the toys, which gave me
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: weird vibes. The man kept talking about how he loves
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: McDonald's toys because each one is unique. Then went on
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: saying the previous toys used to be more exciting, but
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it was a shame they got banned. Now that interested Ricky,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and he started talking to the man as well. It
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: was all a casual convo, so I didn't see any
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: harm in it, But now when I look back, I
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: realized what a grave mistake it was. Why did they
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: baan the toys? Well, some people thought they were wrong. Wrong?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Why I expected the man to discuss any hazardous factor
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: about the old McDonald's toys still, Instead, he put his
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: hand into his pocket. I watched him struggling to take
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: out something from his pocket, which obviously had been stuck.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Ricky got impatient to nest what what is it? The
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: man smiled ear to ears still struggling to get whatever
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: it was in his pocket. I was curious too at
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: this point. Then I heard a crushing sound of a
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: paper bag. The man took out this paper bag, which
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: had something inside. He placed the bag on the table
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and pulled out this bizarre McDonald's toy, shaped like a jellyfish.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It's droopy tentacles, human life face, and oddly fixed grin
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: violated the lines between kids meal fun and explicit intent.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Its translucent dome head only added to the alien horror,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: making it weirdly memorable and slightly disturbing. Isn't it amazing?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Look how big it is? Touch it, Touch it to
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: feel its odd surface. Now Here I had to put
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a stop. The implication of the toy and the man's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: sarcastically chosen words made me understand his evil intention. This
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: guy is sick. My face turned red and embarrassment, and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in a low but strict voice, I said, excuse me,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think you should talk to my kid like that.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: His eyes, which were fixated on Ricky for the last
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: few minutes, shifted to me. Kids love toys. I'm just
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: telling him to touch it once. What's wrong with that?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: He doesn't need to touch anything that you've been in
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: contact with. Now you better leave this place or I'm
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: gonna make you really Alien's lightly closer to my face
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and said, what are you gonna do? Ban me from McDonald's.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I was on the verds to beat the crap out
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: of him, but he got up and left. That guy
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: gave me the creeps. Uncle ted me too. Let's go home.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: We'll eat in the car. I was fuming with rage
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: on our way to the exits. I informed the McDonald's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: employee about the guy, but she brusted off, saying creeps
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: are all over the world. We got in the car
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and we're about to drive away when suddenly a big
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: hand stomped on my window. It was him again. Ricky
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: screamed in terror without opening the window. I cussed him
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: and told him I'll go to the cops right now,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but none of my words created any worry on his face. Instead,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: he took out the jellyfish toy and gave it a
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: big lick from bottom to top. I wanted to get
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: down and slap him as hard as I could, but
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Ricky was already crying, so I had to drive home.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: The poor kid barely slept that night. The next morning,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: when I dropped him off at the airport, he was
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: constantly looking around with fear in his eyes. I knew
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: what he was thinking, but I didn't bring up the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: man again. Once he got home safely to my sister,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I called her and told her everything. I even reported
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the guy to the cops, but since he didn't do
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: anything physically harmful to us, the cops said they couldn't
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: arrest him. I really hope that pervert trips and falls
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: into a manhole, because people like him are nothing but
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: filth to society. It was a boring Saturday night and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: my parents went to visit my grandma. I was randomly
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: scrolling through Netflix when Susie invited me to grab a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: bite at McDonald's with their little brother. I called my
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: mom and told her about this sudden plan. Even though
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: she said yes, I could spot the worry and her
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: voice for going out after dark, but I was sixteen,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: and at that age we hardly listened to our parents.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I thought she was worrying for nothing because the restaurant
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: was just two blocks away, and I always carried mace
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: in my back, putting some music in my ears. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: peacefully walked to the restaurant. It was only seven pm,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: so the place was flooding with customers. Susie waved at
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: me from a table in the corner, and I smiled
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: at her. We laughed, we joked, and we gossiped. With
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: every bite of our burgers. I ate a little too
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: much fries, which didn't leave space for the entire big
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: mac to fit in. Just when I was thinking of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: wrapping it up and take home for a midnight snack,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a filthy looking homeless guy approached our table. If you're
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: not gonna eat it, get a have it. His voice
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: sounded broken, like he had a year's old cough stuck
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: in his larynx. He took out a dirty, muddy hand
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: from his pocket and stretched it in my direction, hoping
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I would hand him my food. Sorry, but I'm gonna
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: eat it. Later, his face turned sad as he said
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: those lines. His eyes sunk deep with pleading, but I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: stuck to my decision. Susie suggested to buy him some
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: food that I stopped her. Why don't you get a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: job so you can buy food for yourself. I sent
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: this out loud to catch the attention of the security.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I also exaggerated a lie when they asked us if
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: he was bothering us. In the next two minutes, he
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: was thrown out of the store. They pushed him so
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: hard that he fell in the pavement and broke his tooth.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I was happy that he's gone, but Susie told me
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I was too harsh on him. We chilled out there
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: for an hour more and then got up to go home.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Susie asked me to wait so her dad could drop
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: me home, but my mom had called me thrice already.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I said, I'll walk home, saying our goodbyes, I started
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: heading home, putting my earbutter back on. I started on
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the empty streets. Headlights of passing cars accompanied me through
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the night. When suddenly someone threw a rock at me.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: It hit my head so hard that I felt I
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: would faint. I grabbed a tree on the sidewalk and
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: touched the back of my head. Felt a swollen bump.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I groaned in pain and looked around to see who
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: threw it. Turning around, I saw familiar face. It was
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the homeless guy from mac Dee. He was hunched on
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the sidewalk just a few inches away. A mix of
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: anger and hatred illuminated his face under the neon street lights.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Before the sense of fight or flight could kick in,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: he sprinted towards me, grabbed me by the shoulders, and
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: started shaking me violently. Help, I screamed. My face was
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: covered in my tears and sweat, but there was hardly
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: anyone to hear my cry. I felt I was gonna vomit.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: When he stopped, still grabbing my shoulders, he brought his
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: face closer and screamed at me, opening his mouth. His
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: bad breath mixed with his spit spray printed my face.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Blood was oozing from his broken tooth. I'm sorry, let
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: me go, please. He then pushed me on the sidewalk,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: making me lose my balance and fall on my back.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I forgot about the MAC. I forgot I could fight
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: like a tiny bug trying its best to set free
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: from a spider web. I almost crawled back on my hands.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: The guy just stood there, watching me go through all
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the emotions. Before I got up and started running, I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: could hear his laughter echoing in the night. When I
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: reached home, I called my mom and broke down like
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a little girl. My parents drove back home asap, but
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: until they arrived, I just sat in the living room corner,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: crying and fearing the guy might show up at my
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: house too. I constantly kept checking out the window to
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: see if he was standing on the streets. Luckily he wasn't.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't sleep well for at least a month after
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that incident. I didn't go out after dark for a year. Now,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: when I look back to the situation and think about it,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I realized I did wrong. The poor guy all he
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: asked for was food, and I denied him quite rudely.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I'm thirty years old now. Until today, whenever I come
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: across a homeless person, I offer them some money as
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: my repentance for treating that man like he didn't matter.
