Mystery Eggs

The eggs arrived on the icerink Wednesday. They’d brightened every day.

“Eight feet by five feet – no known creature could lay these,” proclaimed scientists.

Large crowds gathered by Sunday night. They knew what they were. “Dragons! Dragons! Dragons!” they chanted.

From the top of the Ferris wheel, I looked upon the sea of ultraviolet-blue and pink eggs. Smiling I pressed a button. “Not dragons!”

The eggs burst open in an explosion of sparks. Energising percussion music rumbled into the watcher’s chests. Before them dancers erupted from the yolks with majestic cartwheels, somersaults and backflips – it was party time!
