This one is creepy. You know me... won't read what happens next 😬

It creeps me out too! I don't think I'll write what happens next.

All those yellow happy faces from the 1960s that people hung on their walls and later discarded have come back to life. Adopting the Lost In Space tradition of Crush, Kill, Destroy.

That’s my theory. 🀣

Or maybe Midjourney images have learned to materialize. 😬

I'm pretty sure more pop out of the cliff rubble. 🀯

This is by far the creepiest Midjourney image I’ve seen to date, haha! I hope there are no more happy balloons, but it seems they’ll continue floating in and wreaking havoc.

I agree, it's pretty creepy. It definitely called for a creepy story.

I understand your desire for a definitive ending. I love writing open ended endings, though, engaging readers further in the story process. I may write the next chapter and I may not. 😊

I know this balloon incident has inspired many stories of fiction already! Yours was good too!

Honestly, Kim, I wrote this story more than a month ago. The balloon incident had nothing to do with it!
