Looking back, Timmy and Betsy realized that the start of that car ride without exaggeration marked the last anxiety-free moments of their entire lives. Everything, in the end, broke out into pre- and post-HellClown.
The clown forgot to put his seatbelt on and went flying through the windscreen when Father slammed the brakes on halfway down the driveway when he realised he'd forgotten Mother.
