I’m going to a party, it’s in a city… a strange city I’m not familiar with. While walking around I see some familiar faces waiting by an old wooden door attached to a large brick wall. They knock a few times and are let in. I follow of course.
Inside is a small corridor leading to a set of windy stairs to the left. Straight ahead is a dining hall where it looks like someone is having a wedding recession. Well I take the stairs to the basement.
Down there I see more familiar faces and am instantly hit with a force that makes my body feel altered. There is music playing, but it isn’t something I heard before, it was completely original and seemed to emit from the walls.
Of course, for those who know me, music + me = dance. So I danced, danced to my heart’s content until someone said the cops were coming. How cliché, how overdone, I ran outside to see the commotion.
It was practically nothing and the owners of the place smooth talked or bribed the officer into leaving. I walked back into the side entrance and found myself in a different hallway. It was weird so I went back outside and I was absolutely positive this was the way I exited. The hallways had a bathroom with men shaving on one end. The other end looked to be a science convention, with a few old high school friends playing ping pong in lab coats. I exchanged some glances around the maze of creation and found no other way out.
I ventured outside again and contemplated using the front door. But as I approached the front steps, something ominous came over me. I decided the bad vibes were not something I wanted to deal with and again checked the side entrance.
Much to my surprise, the room changed completely. No more hallways, I was in a guitar exhibit from a museum. I scanned the guitars hung on the walls each with their own unique coloring. Two kids suddenly rushed in. One of them had a guitar cradled in his arms like a wounded solider. They approached a man with glasses, and he started to exam the guitar as if he was a doctor. The two kids looked scared, and overwhelmed at the situation.
Well, I as overwhelmed as they were. As I walked around I got a weirder sense of this world, the familiarity of my surroundings were combated with many strange oddities.
Makes you think sometimes --what DOES this all mean?
