DECEMBER 9 2013: EXCESS

Jump
Redcurrant Juice
“Jump!” they shouted.
He’d
made it when he jumped off the flat roof of his garage. He’d landed okay when
he’d launched himself off his balcony. Now he stood poised atop his house,
wearing a red cape for effect, his mates throwing beery encouragement up from
below.
He
jumped.
His
red cape billowed behind him. He soared through the air.
He
was-flying! He sailed peacefully, higher and lighter, towards the clouds.
He
looked down. He could see his friends, swarming like panicking ants around
something that lay on the ground. From his celestial height, it looked like a
squashed redcurrant.
