And now, since it is apparently time to write my biennial short story, here it is, just under 900 words, and slightly creepy.
Interesting. Write some more.
Maybe it's just from living in advertising-saturated LA, but the part at the end made me think of some sort of viral campaign involving some new form of skywriting. I know, it's meant to be something more vague and sinister than that. But we have the sides of entire skyscrapers given over to ads here, and Blade Runner-style video billboards all over, so colorful letters in the sky aren't that much of a stretch.

This is one of my favorite holidays, and I wish it could come every year.

Maybe. Maybe not.

No, they're not, really, and I think that may be the most sinister concept here.

Very nice.
For some reason, it had me thinking just a little bit of A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer.

Definitely registered as sinister to me. Shiver down my back.
Dammit, I want to know more!
(I just want you to know that this is coming from someone who almost universally hates short stories.)

Yes. Yes, that is slightly creepy.
