The story of Rented Bounce Castle
A truck dropped off a giant rolled-up bundle, and twenty minutes later a castle of red, blue and yellow vinyl towered over the yard. The blower roared like a jet. Kids bounced in shifts by age, which lasted about four minutes before everyone piled in at once. Grown-ups yelled one at a time, and a teen helper actually enforced it.
When the blower shut off at sunset, the castle sighed down slowly, and every kid inside refused to leave until it was flat.
