Michele: How to Kill a Clown

“Do you need some string?” The boy had five balloons in his arms. When he reached up to grab a stray balloon, another floated away. The clown asked the boy again: “Do you need some string?”

The boy shook his head, grabbed the errant balloon and continued down the boardwalk. The clown, intrigued, followed him down the stairs and under the boardwalk. The boy smiled, let the balloons go. They reached the boardwalk's underside, where splinters exploded them. A shower of latex and color floated to the ground. And then, the clown was gone.

“It worked.”The boy smiled. “Magic.”
