The moon hung low like a lopsided disco ball as Molly crouched behind a dumpster overflowing with half-eaten cupcake wrappers and deflated balloons shaped like cartoon dinosaurs. Bill adjusted his ski mask, which had slipped over one eye, giving him the look of a particularly confused raccoon. Between them, sprawled across a grease-stained drop cloth, lay an elaborate blueprint drawn on the back of a pizza box. It detailed the backyard layout of Timmy Henderson’s seventh birthday party, where, according to Molly’s “in-the-know” source (a disgruntled clown fired for excessive tootling), one hundred and three lightly used presents awaited—each wrapped in glitter-infested paper and guarded only by a piñata dragon and a sleep-deprived parent or two. Molly pointed to a crayon-annotated zone labeled “Cake Zone (High Risk).” Sweat dripped down her temple from wearing a full bee costume as camouflage. "We go in during the musical chairs collapse," she whispered, eyes gleaming like a fox contemplating a henhouse. "Panic is our ally. Chaos is our caterer." Bill nodded solemnly, clutching a pillowcase adorned with spaceships. It fluttered in the breeze like a banner of absurd ambition. Nearby, a squeaky toy penguin blinked red lights in rhythm with the neighbor’s motion light. They shared a look—equal parts madness, mirth, and mild concern about whether glitter was, in fact, the devil’s dandruff—then crawled forward on elbows and knees, leaving behind only crumbs and bad decisions.
