Nathan eyed the spoon of red sauce in his hand warily, blowing on it gently to cool it enough to eat. His niece, Avery, watched him anxiously as he did so, leaning against the kitchen counter next to him. The sauce should be fine. He’d watched Avery make it himself, and aside from being a little scorched, it was prepared correctly. Then again, that’s what he’d thought about her last three attempts this week.

Looking out across the sea of plastic chairs, I can already feel an impending ache in my arms. The Innovation Concert Hall is absolutely covered in confetti. Small, star-shaped pieces of shiny, colorful plastic gleam underneath the harsh venue lights, clinging to every surface. Of everything it could be, I think to myself, Why did it have to be confetti? It's not even paper. If it was paper, we could just dissolve it with water, but nope. That would be too convenient. My gaze shifts to the corner of the room, all the way on the other side ...
