Summary

What happens when a carnival clown hands you a balloon that refuses to follow the rules of physics—or personal boundaries? A student recounts how a seemingly harmless black balloon hovered ominously at eye-level, ignored the dorm’s corner of shame, and somehow turned its neighboring balloon into a withered, tumorous mess. A mere coincidence of air currents and aging latex, or was the balloon’s grim color scheme more than just a fashion choice?
