Flying debut.

October 13, Warrenton.

Girard Rosales today debuted a new solo act. It is an astonishing flying on-your-head trapeze act called head-balancing trapeze he practiced when he was younger. It replaced the opening act of the second part of the show by the Rosales family, the "wheels of destiny." Backstage he was fidgeting nervously.
When he walked home afterward the other performers started applauding.
He'd passed.

Girard listens to John going over the announcement as John's son, Johnnie, waits to open the curtain.
