Dream 259

It was the time of the town celebration.  The whole park had been set up as a fair, and people were milling around enjoying the sunshine.  There were some rides and exhibits.  It was a charming time.

They only sour note was when two men got into an argument.  The argument started quietly but quickly escalated.  People gathered and watched.  

One man drew a revolver and shot the other in the neck, but instead of falling to the ground, the man's body was caught by dozens of balloon strings, which slowly lifted him into the forest canopy a hundred feet in the air.  There, he was tangled in the branches and was slowly swallowed up into the leaves.  

His body was never found.
