Joker Why So Serious Novels & Stories

he said, pacing again, each footstep a drumbeat that seemed to echo against the stone walls of our cell. Daniel…the joker, the one who could defuse any tension with a quip or sarcastic grin…was serious. Deadly serious. And now I was starting to feel a chill creep up my spine. Whatever was going on is making him this way, has to be very important. I idly rubbed my chin, pretending to think as I studied him. “Hmmm… weird that you will get serious about something. You’re always the one to throw jokes when things get rough. And now…this? Should I be scared?”

"Oh, come on." "I'm serious." "So what are you now? Batman?" "Better." "Superman?" "Worse." "Iron Man?" "Closer." I looked toward Damiano, expecting him to laugh along with me, but instead he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and gave me a small nod. "He's telling the truth." My smile slowly faded. "Wait." "Yes, it's what you're thinking, Jax." "You're serious?" "Unfortunately." "What do you mean unfortunately?"

“I’m not standing here while some smug, overgrown psycho makes jokes about the worst night of my life.” “Overgrown?” Jeremiah called after me. “That one hurt.” I reached the door and a hand slammed against it before I could grab the handle, blocking the exit and it made me freeze. Jeremiah moved in front of me, one arm braced against the door, the teasing finally gone from his face. For the first time since he opened his mouth, he looked serious. “I’m done joking,” he said. I folded my arms, mostly so he wouldn’t see my hands shaking. “Then talk.”

Maybe she can read her mind and escape from the jerkface she called her brother. Elisa finally snapped out of her shock and looked directly at Ansel. "Is this some kind of a joke?" she asked. Ansel straightened his back and made eye contact with her. His face turned serious. "Adams Corp. is an extremely reputable company. We would never joke about something serious like this interview! If you don't want this job, you are free to leave," he declared. Anya wanted to choke Ansel, but alas, it wouldn't look professional. She looked at Elisa, who was staring at Ansel. She could see the hatred in her eyes. The woman did not like Ansel. Not one bit.

"I'm just concerned, you're the only friend I have" He pulled a sober face and then burst into laughter. "You're weird you know that right? You're cringing me out with those eyes" he said and then shook his head. "Joker" I commented, kicking my feet at the edge of the desk. "Believer" he snapped back and I shook my head, laughing with him too but I never meant that. He kept my hope high and he's so unreadable. I was really mad but then I only exhaled softly and gnashed my teeth.

Then burst into a guffaw. "Oh, Man. Don't be serious. It's not any film but real life. Come out of your filmy and reel life to real life. Don't tell me someone tried to kill me, that's why I'm in such a condition." Susanna was still laughing but there was no sign of lightness in his face. He was looking deadly serious and his jaw was tight and firm.

“Why are you guys so damn serious? What the fuck is happening and why wont you guys just spill it out already or has my father perhaps been raised out of the grave and is he on his way back home to hunt me for my sins, is that what you guys want to talk to me about??” I laughed dryly at my stupid joke to lessen the awkwardness I was feeling because they did not seem like they were ready for anything other than serious business so there was not even a sound of a chuckle, everyone just maintained their over serious faces and that was when I was sure that whatever they wanted to say was something that would need me to have people around me so that would console me and that was the reason they m

Because of what he said, I want to laugh. Is he already insane? Why is he so irritated because I wounded myself with the knife? I produced a serious expression to demonstrate that I was not amused by what he said. I pretended it wasn’t a big deal and then joined in on his joke.

"If you keep teasing me, I dare you... I am not going to talk with you even if you expose your naked body." I just laugh at him, scratching my head when seeing him defensive. He's really cute. "Fine but I notice that you are different from JM." "What do you mean?" He asks. "He's very serious in many ways and I can't make even a joke when I'm with him. He's just going to punish me." "What can I say, he's a serious man." "I know. Wait what is his name?" He hums, caressing his chin with his fingers as if he's thinking and to the fact that he knows his husband well.

I'm not joking I'm serious. ****
