Some might be confused at some of the things in this story. I wanted to explain some things below if you want to continue to learn more about all the moments in this story that connect. However, if you are more inclined to live in the mystery, like me, skip the next part. Enjoy!
Q) What was real?
Everything in past tense was real, as well as the final chapter. The parts Jenna was being chased were all in her mind.
Q) What or who was the clown?
The disease itself. It manifested in her mind as something that was chasing her, trying to capture her, destroy her. Like many diseases, the clown creature wanted to kill her, and it was a metaphor for the fear of facing the disease itself and always being on the run.
Q) Who was the man in the white coat?
It was Dr. Sal, the person who informed Jenna of her illness. That's why he looks so sad when she approaches him. Even more so, the one question he was able to get out was “Are you okay?” which is the most common question a doctor would ask. He tried to remind her of who he was. However, the clown killed him just as she was beginning to understand.
Q) What about the places she ran through?
The start of the short story involves her running away from the clown in the basement. A place she thought as a hideout against all that scare her. She used the basement as a area to keep safe like when she was a little girl. The field was the countless people she passes by everyday who pay her no mind. The house was the home she lived in as a little girl. The women on the bed was her mother, dying. She was scared of her mother because of the disease as a child and it reflected here, even as a grown women. Mostly because she saw what the disease did to her mother, and what it might do to her.
Q) What is the disease?
Ah, that is something only I get to know. Sorry, that you'll just have to accept as a mystery!
