I was one year to young for the cocktail contest.

There was something enticing about the colorful drinks in everyone’s hands that seemed to cause a commotion. Crowds swarming to go try the mixture of flavors that my mom had warned me about, stay clear of the booze and stick to your stand. The last thing she wanted was for me to mix alcohol with explosives.

I really did try. I promise, but some of those creations looked like bubble gum in liquid form. So maybe I had slipped myself a drink, just one…maybe two….okay it was three.

But I wasn’t alone!

Adam was good company for the time being, still I had work to do. Just maybe that was the reason I didn’t have a fourth. Actually, I took one to go…really that was my last.

Now I was back at my stand swaying in place as I pieced together the elements of dynamite and glitter waiting for the moment to present my creation. I could not lie, it became harder to attach the wires to their correct place, but I am no quitter! So, I continued my work completely convinced that it was going to go perfectly fine, ignoring the difficulties I already had before the sweet drinks found themselves miraculously in my hands.

A martini glass spilling over with smoke to my right side and my tools to the left. Possibly one of the best days of my life, the dynamite stick buzzing in my hand ready to launch a shower of pink confetti into the crowd.

Was this sanctioned? Not really, but I thought it could spice up the fair a little bit. Liquid courage in hand I looked into the crowd seeing a familiar face. ”Kat! Oh my gosh Kat! You have to try this!” I hurried towards her holding the drink out for her to take. ”Oh and come look, I made a new device…I swear it’s totally functional this time.” my eyes manic with excitement. Danger was near but I did not care because it was all in the name of fun.
