Rolling

He didn't even remember walking through the door.

The beat seemed to linger in his inner ear and resonate deep within his chest, pushing against his heart. He couldn't distinguish if it was his knocking of the door or the thumping baseline of the music that was seeping from deeper within the club. Either way it didn't matter.

He was in. And he was ready.

It all happened so fast. One moment he was wandering down an alleyway, walls covered in algae, slick from water that had dripped from the hundreds of apartments that were layered above him, like some architectural game of Jenga. The next moment, he was being patted down. ID ripped from his hands. He tried his best to smile like in his picture, but he was sure that he just came off looking like the smug asshole he was -  high as a kite on one of the many drugs that flowed through the city. The whole time, all he wanted to do was reach out and graze the bouncer's jacket. God it looked so supple.

Before he knew it, he found himself standing exactly where he was now. On the event horizon.

Stretched out before him was pure madness - an endless sea of bodies, held together by the music that was pumping through the stacks of speakers hung carelessly from the ceiling. Moving in unison, everyone was on the same wavelength. Bodies touching. Eyes fixed on one another. Totally focused on matching the rhythm of the music with their bodies. It didn't seem real. Everyone seemed jacked into the music. Zoned in.

His eyes almost couldn't handle it - lasers erupted from every corner of the club, slicing the space into hundreds of different angles. The sweat that was cascading off of everyones' skin flew into the air, falling like tiny pockets of rain. Occasionally one of the multicolored beams would pass through a bead - exploding in every direction. Some sort of organic disco ball - illuminating another thousand parts of the room for just a fraction of a second. It was stunning.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward, making his way into the crowd.

Who said chaos couldn't be beautiful?
