We were somewhere around the stage when the music began to take hold…
The lights throbbed like a neon war drum, blaring over the delirious, riotous crowd that stretched into the ether, faces lost in the smear of flashing reds and strobing whites. The bass, a predatory heartbeat, stalking us all from the darkness. Somewhere in this haze, I was sure I’d find what I was looking for, though I couldn’t remember what it was. Maybe salvation.

I froze and gave him the money even though I felt humiliated and wanted nothing more than to get back in my car and drive home, but I knew there was a good chance my friends were inside and I didn't want to disappoint the bday girl...sooooo I swallowed my pride and paid the cover to get in, but I will think twice before going back to that place and risking seeing that guy again.
