     "Eggies go everywhere!" Jack said. David smiled down on him. David had taken the microwave and a carton of eggs out into the backyard so that he could blow off some steam, but Jack wanted to come, too.

     "Alright, Jackie," David patted his brothers head. "Think you can take of this yourself?"

     "I can explode the eggies!" Jack beamed. David laughed and got up.

     "Then I'll leave you to it!" David smiled and headed towards the nearby shed. His dad still had some extra fireworks from the 4th of July celebration. And David knew how to use them now.

     Now, with the fireworks under his right arm and a lighter in his left hand, David headed towards the trees. No, he wouldn't be shooting the fireworks through the canopy. He'd be going to the large field in the center of the woods. Just to have fun.

     But a tall man stood in his way. He was well dressed, in a black tuxedo. His arms were long, and his face was blank. He held out his hand for David.

     Now, the fireworks faced the sky. And up they went.
