Le Cirque des Noirs
On the ninth Hallows Eve of that decade, the moon was shining so violently white that it tore open a hole in the sinister night sky. To the wild-eyed monster children dancing about the streets dressed as movie stars and super-heroes, plastic mannequins and glitter-pixies, the creatures tumbling from that invisible rip were only shooting stars, just two brilliant streaks of white braiding across the atmosphere, twisting and twining around each other in a child’s game of chase. A momentary glitch in science, a trick of the light, and then nothing, save for the faint echo of laughter that could simply be passed off as the guitar-strum shimmer of wind through the low-hanging cypress trees.
