it wasnt until about half way through shirley’s flight through the air of the cavernous dancehall did the now mostly disinterested crowd realise the terminal of her flight would be, almost precisely, the barrel of the confederate army cannon salvaged from the war between the states. no one really considered the implications of the cannon not being moved, afterwards everyone agreed that even if they wanted to move it no one would have. regardless of analysis the reality was that shirley did in fact fly feet first into the cannon. the shock came when the cannon unexpectedly fired for the first time ever causing shirley to fly out ass first and continue almost exactly the same route she flew in from.
