Phobia

She is really scared of clowns. 

Ever since that incident at the church/chapel, every clown that she saw reminded her of  that very day at that very place. She still remembers what happened that day. They were were suppose to watch some concert practice and she was sitting at the side of the aisle, the left side. There were clowns giving out sweets from little pretty baskets, she knew that and she was waiting for one of them to come and pass her some. Suddenly out of the blue, a clown wearing his polka dots costume came behind her and 'Boo'-ed her. She screamed and started to cry. The clown tried to calm her down and even tried giving her sweet. but to no avail. The more the clown tried, the worse it got, until her teacher came to get her. Her teacher cuddled her in her arms and told her everything was alright. She told her that the clowns were human beings just like her, only that they had put on makeup. This calmed the little girl down for the moment. But the memory still haunts her, up till now and it will forever haunt her till her very last breath. 

Sad story but a true one.
