Arthur laughed. He looked down upon the lower world and sneered. Afraid to look up, buried in the clouds, he just kept laughing. Arthur, a failure below mediocrity even among angels, relied on the foolish comedies of humans to keep himself going. It was a cold December day when the halo on his head snapped off.
