Thump- thump.
Thump-thump.
There are raging bodies everywhere.
           Slick.
           Squirming.
           Half-naked.
           Screaming
wailing
shrieking
        as the delicate veils rise
        and all is revealed
with a sheer beast, a titan, roaring into the spaces that keep all of us bitter-sweetly together
        making all seem perfect
        while stealing our sanity
                  but we all know that it’s taken for granted, anyways.
And we love it.
I stand
  gasping for just the smallest amount of breath
as the waves of beautifully
     heavy
     dark
and
      evil music
wash crushingly over me
         making every inch of skin
                      that is bare or covered
         quake violently
liquefying my soft insides.
I feel as if I have been bitten by a seductive spider
  preparing my soul
to be stolen from me.
There are aching bodies everywhere.
           Sweating profusely
their breaths vibrating in my chest
        rubbing against me
the heat from their friction is suffocating
      and making my uneasy head swim
Saliva
   sweat
   urine
   sex
fill the stale air
      casting shadows
                   on the legion of thirsty
and unfortunately frustrated
       just enough to tease them
              and cause their quick tongues to twitch behind their chapped lips
But there is something else
       lurking, lurking
       watching me silently
                       a predator
yet I cannot see it
But I can’t move.
       The bodies against me
exert so much force
         and pressure
                I am helpless
          and left obviously vulnerable
to be digested
     and die at the hands of something
            more powerful than me
There are dirty bodies everywhere.
Screaming
    wailing
     shrieking
completely unaware
            that it is come for
           coming for my terror
                         my frenzy
                         my flesh
and I can’t escape the fate it holds for me
The devilish melodies swallow
       the rambunctious bodies
they’re everywhere
stretching for as far as the unobstructed eye can see
                 and I can feel the presence of the executioner creeping
closer, closer
            and I realize that I cannot escape
despite my struggles to be free
            the more I lash out
                  fight
and
                  squirm against the antagonized bodies
the more they grind ferociously against my skin
     their heat stealing all of the water from my pores
insanely beating
               beating
                all that I am
they have no mercy for this small one
        who’s nemesis is creeping, creeping
        like an insect
forever close and uncomfortable
Thump-thump
Thump-thump
The music is wasting away from my ears
       and time is slowing down
the lights licking the raving bodies
       in shades of blue
            green
            purple
and
            red
are becoming more and more incandescent
      to my sensitive pupils
that dilated from the shock of knowing
       that eradication is upon me
the executioner is here
      he slithered through the spaces between the wired bodies  (they’re everywhere)
that the titan’s roar could not fill
       and
Thump.
Thump.
something important is fleeing from me
                 taking the most crucial pieces
fading, fading
and I can’t concentrate on anything
       except the hungry bodies
swirling around me
               like a cyclone
               and I realize I am terribly sick
swirling, swirling
Everything’s withering away from my conscience
                      verging with the lights
And
Thump.
my eyes roll loosely into the back of my weary head
       as my executioner wraps its deadly fingers around my tender neck
and I fall, limply, into the sea of the hungry bodies (Oh God they’re everywhere)
thump.
lost to the feeling
       of never living again.
