a cynosure of all eyes carrying danger like a backpack seasoned acrobat thrilling all and sundry with go-big-or-go-home feats on the trapeze. he's done this countless times. a life lived on the edge flirting with disaster each moment could be his last the audience on tenterhooks watching him fly through the air he's done this countless times. all was copacetic just minutes ago. amid all the rip-roaring...T H U D! seasoned acrobat lies dead on the ground. everything stops; a hush suddenly falls over the circus. it's stunningly unexpected... but he's done this countless times! he never saw it coming, no one did d e a t h in an instant.
