It was the balloon ride that did it. He was forever in ecstasy of flight, and nothing less than the perpetual openness of sky would keep him happy. He tied the cape then launched himself over the edge. They found his body fifty meters downstream, a smile on his face.
Note to self: Drink less Coke at 11:30 at night. Not the caffeine factor. It’s been playing hell with my dreams. Last night, I dreamt, in Technicolor, that I was camping with some friends and then a crazy islander ran up with a look in his eye that meant business, and proceeded to cut off [...]
