This post is in response to Trifecta's Weekly Challenge. They choose a word and ask us to write a story using the third definition of that word in a 33-333 word story. As soon as I saw the word, my mind immediately went to one of my favorite pictures of our daughter watching the fireworks show last Fourth of July.
FIREWORKS (noun)
3: plural
a : display of temper or intense conflict
b : a spectacular display <the fireworks of autumn leaves>
