The finds under the sofa weeks after the party: one balloon, deflated, still festive.

The balloonarchaeology excavates the party's smallest survivor. Its specimen is binned with a small ceremony or refilled, one time, for the dog. The layer also yields confettiregret, a crackergift, and one shoe from a guest who is still, technically, welcome.

Etym. — balloon + archaeology — the dig beneath the party's ruins.

Rel. — balloondread
