[Francis wakes up early, with a smile on his face. Nothing like a public holiday to put a man in a good mood, right? Not to mention a beautiful wife, two charming daughters and a hard-working son even though only one is his child and-He gets to work making breakfast, feeling a little guilty as he does. He may love

It is a nice day. I hope the night is clear so we can light small fireworks or sparklers or something.

I keep feeling like I'm forgetting something though.

[theseineone]

Ah, that would be fun! I adore fireworks, they are so beautiful and exciting.

But forgetting something? Like what?

[notasidedick]

Wouldn't it? And everyone can light them with their neighbors. It would be nice to appreciate them with everyone else.

I don't know. I keep feeling like something is amiss.

[theseineone]

Well, the town is small enough that everyone should be able to see no matter who lights them.

... It seems a few people have been a little confused this morning.

[notasidedick]

I guess that's true. I wonder if my wife wouldn't mind doing a bigger dinner and invite the neighbors. [Wife sounds so wrong.]

I found nails and razor blades in my milk this morning. It was...alarming to say the least.

[theseineone]

... Don't drink the milk.

[notasidedick]

I didn't. I rather not start my morning bleeding from my throat.

[theseineone]

Good idea.

Maybe it was someone's idea of a cruel, sadistic prank? I wouldn't like to think our town had anyone like that, but I suppose no one ever does.

[notasidedick]

Even if it was a cruel prank, I don't think someone would purposely put things that might kill you in the milk as one...

I know it was intentional. Or at least, I feel like it was.

[theseineone]

Yes, it would be difficult to do by accident...

[notasidedick]

I don't know anyone here who would do this though. [But could he blame the milkman for it? Wasn't the milkman always really nice?]
