He strums his white gloved fingers against the ever softening wood planks. "I once was a man of clay, until a wizard went came my way." He kicks harder at the water, "Said 'boyo I can grant you life, so long as you promise me your first born for a wife.' "
Bubbles rise from the lake. A head, scales and hardened, rises from the murky ether.
"I said sir what if she's a he, he said that don't bother me." Heh smiles and cocks his neck with vigor glaring up at the pale moon light.
The invading predator slithers through the water with slow deliberate movements that barely disturb the waters.
"I said but sir what if he takes after me, he said well then you can keep that ugly baaaaaybeeeee."
The alligator lunges with the ferocity of it's prehistoric ancestors at the clown.
Jaws snap at his head but in vain. The predator writhes in agony feeling an unfamiliar sensation in the pit of it's barreled chest. Fear.
large, putrid yellow nails dig into it's encased eyes and hold it still as its tail flails wildly in the water disrupting the tranquility.
"Dinner time. Heh."
