I hear you - work, work, work, busy, busy, busy. I prefer to linger on webs and laze around but on the other hand, do like the sense of accomplishment (and monetary recompense) that work provides... Anyway - can I jump to being a fan of that third theory? If the narrator - due to memory loss, willfull supression, or something more Sinister and peculiar - perhaps killed Billy at the ring toss, and the milk bottles had something that made it easy to incapacitate Danny for his murder, with the motive being shame and rage at having accidentally killed Billy...

A fourth intrepretation, because why not? Billy died from the actions of a carnival worker, perhaps Danny as well. Whether this worker was influenced by Slappy or perhaps possessed by It if it was supernatural in the first place doesn't matter... I think one of the reasons I enjoy this piece is that it's fear is one of those fears that lingers more the more you think about it. The reader and the narrator are equally powerless, and that itself is frightening!
