Circus Schumann was the finest Circus in Europe. For years it entertained the French, German, and Dutch crowds with their amazing feats. Giraffes as tall as towers, elephants the size of tanks, lions and tigers who would growl at the crowd and cause them to go into shock and awe. Thousands frolicked to see the legendary circus… but even animals weren’t the Circus’s biggest attraction. Clowns were fairly new in Germany, and seeing these figures with red noses and face paint was amazing to them. They would laugh and cheer, as if they were little children. One of the clowns that was beloved by the audience was named “Honk-Honk” as of the little horn he carried with him. He operated the Strongman game outside and everyone loved him for it. Circus-goers would snicker at his corny remarks and his funny posture. He loved the attention however, and was always glad to serve the people and let them try his Strongman game.
But one day… He wasn’t at his usual post. Another clown operated his Strongman game, one they had only seen in the shows… When the circus show came on, people looked for Honk-Honk but no one saw him. Everyone was confused. No one understood at what had happened. A group approached the Circus Master, Albert Schumann, and asked, where had beloved Honk-Honk had gone. Everyone had known that Hitler and the Nazi Party was rising to power. Many had heard of the murders of Jews orchestrated by Himmler, but no one had known that Honk-Honk was a Jew. Schumann told the crowd what had happened, how the night before, soldiers boarded the Circus Train, put Honk-Honk into a jeep, and drove away. The next morning, the staff woke up to find all the belonging of Honk-Honk gone. It was like he had disappeared. The master had decided to not tell what had happened to him that morning, just to say that he came to him, saying that he was leaving to head west, and started walking away.
Honk-Honk was driven East, he could tell through the change in the air, it had gotten colder. He wore a burlap sack on his head, restricting his view of anything. He tried moving around, but the soldiers smacked a rifle stock in his stomach. Hours later, the jeep stopped, he was kicked out the side of the jeep, falling onto the piercing feel of gravel. He heard footsteps as a soldier lifted him against a tree, and repeatedly crashed a rifle stock against his skull… after five hits, the wood splintered, and as the soldier brought it down for a final time, the wood split, breaking against his head, cracking his skull. He fell dazed and delirious, blood seeping from the wounds across the left side of his face. Sharp words screeched into his ear, telling him to move, that this wasn’t a game. He stood up, expecting another strike, but was instead pushed forward, stumbling on the gravel, towards a horrible stench... no doubt a camp in his mind as he felt eyes on him wherever he walked. He heard a short gasp, but a voice seized it… Yet the shriek of furnaces and the crack of picks and shovels crowded his head. As the blood drizzled down his temple, and fell to the floor in droplets, he was pushed further and further. For hours is what it felt like. He walked always with a rifle barrel poking his back… never leaving the spot in his spine. A rough voice told him to stop. Whoever he was, he pulled the sack off of his head, but it didn’t fully come off, a part of the cloth snagged on something, causing immense pain throughout his head. A drum banged in his head as a woman screamed. He hadn’t felt it before, but a sliver of the rifle stock had punctured his forehead, coming cleanly out of the eye socket. The stem jutted out, twisting around the splinter. Leaving him standing, the soldier left. Immediately, people crowded around him, through his one eye, he could see only bones. The people were incredibly scrawny, as if they hadn’t been fed in weeks, yet they stood, gallantly, helping him walk into the building, only to find it worse than the people. It stunk of rotten flesh, as if someone had stuck a flamethrower into a building of people. Flies darted past the open door, some landing on the open wound in Honk’s forehead, he could feel them crawl and itch, constantly moving, constantly coming back to irritate. The people went to seat him on a bench. Bugs started to climb up his legs, beetles began to bite, worms slithering up the sides of his arms… he fell into darkness. One that he never came back from. The last words of his life came out… A curse… upon the German people. A curse on the people that had loved him, only to turn on him. To stab him in the back.
Hours later, after slipping into unconsciousness, died on the bench, blood still seeping from the wood. Bugs crawled on him for days, rotting away his body, destroying his insides… leaving eggs of their young to eat away his insides. When the soldiers came to take his body away, his chest broke open as spiders and flies flew out… they laid his corrupted body in a shallow grave with dozens of other bodies, all with the same effect.
As the soldiers left, a deathly cold emission came from the body of Honk. It left the grave and vanished. Soon, bodies started to show around the camp… mutilated. Their skulls bashed in as maggots fed upon the open body. Soldiers were dying repeatedly… More and more kept taking their place. Yet, they kept dying, all the same way. The camp soon became a curse to be assigned to, Death bringer the soldiers called it as no German could enter and walk out alive.
2014
College graduates Adolf, Kai, Jakob, and Ami leave Hamburg to venture into Germany’s sites. Going to Nuremburg and Berlin, looking at the home’s of Nazi officers. They seize they’re journey in a camp called Todesbringer, or Death bringer in English. They ignore the signs of a paranormal being, seeing it as just make believe. The camp’s ruins are surrounded by fences, yet the boys use cutters to break in. They see no problem in the camp, just the occasional wildlife rushing around and the web of a spider filling the corner of a room. Occasionally, Ami felt a cold whisper in the air… even though the day was sunny and the wind from the morning had died down. They split up; Adolf and Kai leave to go explore the bunkhouses of the prisoners, as Jakob and Ami go leave to the dig sites and burials of the dead. Ami then feels a cold whisper conjure up against her neck, barely being able to hear the sound. They continue on walking, passing the crude crosses, their tops barely sticking out of the grass. They round a corner and Jakob pushes her up against the wall and starts kissing her. Ami being Kai’s boyfriend, is reluctant, as their relationship still matters, but soon leaves the thoughts of Kai in the back of her head and starts to become comfortable with Jakob.
Adolf and Kai wander the camp in search of anything abnormal, as the signs said a paranormal entity reigned in this camp… they see nothing, nor feel anything. Yet, they still tread softly, as anything could happen. Moment’s later… screams fill the camp, Ami’s screams. Both Adolf and Kai run towards the sound… adrenaline filling their veins as they believe this could be it. They reach the source but stop… as someone is trying to keep her quiet, muffling her voice… shushing her. Adolf looks in the door at the opposite side of the room, and turns pale. Kai rushes to him and asks “Did you see anything?” but Adolf wont speak. He points at the door, and Kai steps inside. There lies Ami… and Jakob… but one lies on the floor… motionless. Jakob’s blood is splattered against the wall, bits of bone lie on the floor, cracked from the gaping hole in his head standing above him is a clown. Dressed in white… but stained with blood, a piece of wood penetrating an open hole in his clean white skull. Maggots fall from the wood but disappear in the ground, only to fall again… over and over. He carries a hammer streaked with blood on the top, while bits of flesh cling to it like trophies. A horn rests in a gaping hole in his chest, honking quietly. The clown then vanishes, leaving Ami, Kai, and Adolf in the room with Jakob’s lifeless body. Kai then notices that Ami’s shirt is off… He gives her a stare. Then bolts out the door, Adolf behind him, Ami starts to give chase, but a sharp honk in her ear stops her, she looks up to find a hammer cracking against her head. Her body falls to the floor. Just like Jakob’s body. Blood seeps into the dirt as Kai and Adolf stop to see her fall and the clown standing above her, still quietly honking. They both run, trying to remember where they entered.
They run the entire perimeter of the fence with no success, the clown has locked them in, and they stand no chance. They reach a part of the fence, pull out the cutters, and start trying to cut the wire, to no prevail, they had cut the wire before like butter, but now it was like cold steel, as if it had only just been replaced, Adolf’s cutters then broke, shattering in his hand, shrapnel flies and cuts his hand, leaving blood to stream out, dropping onto the rocks below. Out of nowhere, a force starts to pull them away from the fence, a portal opens behind them, hurling them into its core.
They fall face first onto gravel, they open their eyes to see rotting corpses and bones in inches away from their eyes. Ami and Jakob’s bodies sit next to them, blood still seeping from their cracked skulls. Adolf stands while Kai stays down, Adolf looks to see a rib bone impaled inside of Kai’s stomach. Crimson streaks his shirt as blood slowly trickles down his shirt. Adolf looks at his surrounding… It seemed like the Catacombs of Paris, skulls dotted the walls, but they all had a unique feature within them, each one had been cracked in the head, in the exact same spot. Some were new and others old. In the middle of the room sat a giant horn, one like the clown had in the hole of his chest. The clown sits atop the horn, smiling with cracked lips and faded paint, his eyes streaked with wrinkles, while blood oozes out of his eyes, as if it was make-up. He twists a skull in his hand, one that is completely new and spotless, as if it had just been cleaned… or the flesh rotted away. Adolf looks back to Jakob to see his head mutilated and deformed, the white of his skull no longer gleaming in the light, but rather sitting in the twisted and broken claws of the clown. Adolf looks up to the clown, only to find him gone. Then the giant horn screeches across the room, destroying the eardrums of Adolf and Kai. No longer being able to hear, blood dribbles from their heads, soaking their shoulders. The clown then sits upon the horn again, staring at Kai. He then screams a spine chilling sound as his spine is ripped from his body and starts drifting towards the clown’s hands. Kai now lies motionless on the floor, leaving Adolf left to stand. He pulls a pistol out of his backpack, and starts firing at the clown, only for the bullets to be stopped, and forced back at him. Hitting him in the arm, leg, and shoulder, Adolf stands wounded. No longer able to flee, he starts praying to God to help him. T
o lift him out of this horror. The clown walks up to him, and whispers into his barely audible ear “ Your Christian God does not exist in my domain” and rips his face off, leaving a mask of blood as Adolf falls to the floor.
Somehow, Adolf wakes up, as if he was in a nightmare, but he is fine. He looks down at his clothes, a white pair of pants and tee shirt. A golden gate sits in front of him, opening as he takes his first step. He walks inside to see roller coasters and people dancing as if there was nothing they had to care about. Kai then steps up to him, and tells him “Welcome to Heaven Adolf, do whatever you please, summon who you want, this is your world.” Adolf then freaks out and the first thing to come to his head is the American vocal group Backstreet Boys. He then turns around, as the five stand right there. They then start singing “Everybody”.
