Streaks of light streamed from the windows and slowly filled the room. She gazed at the light with her tear stained eyes. The bruises on her back, the lashes from last night, sadly reflected from the broken mirror in the room.
The daubs of make-up were now smudged on her swollen face.
She slowly stood under the shower, washing off the dried blood stains and the pain.
She, the clown, of the famous carnival, decorated herself in happy colors, made everyone smile.
Would anyone have wondered, what pain the clown was living behind that happy smile?
