Inspiration: J.D. Salinger's book The Catcher in the Rye

Character: Holden Caulfield

_____

Holden was back at the carousel for the third time. The carousel music got stuck in his head. He found himself humming it a few times in the last week.

He just wanted to watch the happy children spin around in a blur. He was worried someone might recognize him and peg him as a pervert or something. He wore sunglasses and a baseball cap this time. 

Nobody seemed to pay attention to him. Except for the clown with balloon animals. He made him a giraffe. Handed it to Holden. 

Holden smiled. He had wanted the giraffe. Dogs were crummy.
