Jack McAllister was a strapping young lad, ever so obedient and very fond of the place he calls home, a circus that travels all across the country. He was the son of the Human Canonball, Glory McAllister who loves him so much. One day while his father was doing his maintenance on the cannon, Jack went in front of it without the knowledge of his father. His father is still busy rigging the cannon to fire, meanwhile Jack saw the rope that was tied to the back of the cannon, he thought to himself that since his fater was fixing the cannon it was ok for him to play with it. Being an obedient and respectful boy; he didnt want to disturb his father so he reached the rope while he was infront of the cannon. As he pulls the cord a loud explosion is heard, Glory McAllister was deafend by the sound and it took him a while to discover his son, standing with a big gap between his head and his feet.
