Dream 261

It was the time of the town celebration.  The whole park had been set up as a fair.  The weather was sunny and warm.

Townsfolk wandered about, speaking pleasantly to one another and enjoying the various refreshments.  Children dashed hither and yon, shouting with delight.  

Two men got into an argument.  One shot the other in the neck, but instead of falling to the ground, his 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, which slowly wrapped around him until he was completely hidden.  His body was never found.
