THE FIRST SOUNDS ARE THE DRUMS. They break like thunder, unexpected, and the backbeat is set, manic and wild. I feel the smack of the drumsticks in the pit of my stomach as they snap against the skin. The crowd begins to pulse. The lights come up red as fire and the stage is hell. I look at it and sweat. The sweat drips down my cheeks, into my mouth. It stings my eyes.

I squint upward at the black silhouettes glaring down at me. I stare at them, trying to connect them in my brain to anyone I know. But I can’t. They aren’t those people anymore. They aren’t even human. Ollie? I think. Piper? The sound is so loud I can’t hear myself think. The drums go on forever, torturing us with the prelude. They toy with the crowd, saying “fuck you” before the music’s even started.
