#7. ELF PARADE in Trampoline Town is about bouncing, echoes, and objects in mirrors that are closer than they appear.
It takes place on Elvennacht, a holiday that happens every few centuries on the last Friday of February. We don’t know how they celebrated it the last time, but this year, elves from all over the world appeared in the woods surrounding Trampoline Town and waited for it to close for the night. Once the park was locked up, the elves went in.
Elves do what they call a Parade. It’s a very confusing sight for the few human eyes that have seen it. The elves wear anything from fine costumes to rags. Physical laws are suspended. Gravity is applied randomly. Even the size of the elves changes from very, very tiny to gargantuan and back.
