Jared was still grinning like a maniac. "In that case," he told Ash solemnly, "I will consider taking you back. ↗

I can't blame modern technology for my predilection for distraction, not after all the hours I've spent watching lost balloons disappear into the clouds. I did it before the Internet, and I'll do it after the apocalypse, assuming we still have helium and weak-gripped children. ↗
