boom, clap! // adam + soleil

My teachers told me that my project would be a disaster, even had the nerve to tell me not to show up at all! Good thing I was never one to give up, not even when I would constantly singe off my own eyebrows (They grow back!).

Mom had walked me to the fair but then left me quickly to my own devices to set everything up, something about not wanting to be covered in glitter when it all went south. I tried to tell her that being covered in glitter is actually a great thing and she had just rolled her eyes and said she’d picked me up when it was all over.

So, I stood there and waited, sometimes trying to engage the ones passing by in my glitter canon. I am sure there would be a buyer somewhere, someone who knew that if you wanted a little bit of fun there was nothing like and explosion that led to a rain of shinning pink and confetti. Someone out here in district three must have a sense of fun.
