#FF06: A balloon, a ball, ballustrades

verbena
Jan 25, 2022

A birthday costume party in full force.

Barb sighed,

Could there be anything worse?

Dreadful 5 year olds,

Everywhere.

Fighting, playing football, making a mess.

God,

How she wished this day would end.

Instead, she smiled and brought the cake out.

Just in time.

Knowingly, Xavier smiled back.

Looking around, the party was a success.

Many balloons had already popped.

Not that it mattered;

Once the party is over

Popping them would be the latest entertainment.

Quite the evening.

Rumbling,

Someone crying for help.

Timmy with his head stuck on the ballustrade.

Unbelievable! Again?

Vandals, they thought, while helping him free.

What is that kid dressed as anyway?

Xavier whispered to her.

You know, I have no clue.

Zebra, maybe.

Just a quick wordplay, spelling out the alphabet with each first letter. Not my favourite work, but the prompt was uninspiring to me.
