Silence

The dance floor vibrates with noise, I waltz slowly past the happy couples, so joyous in their movements. I feel the tapping of feet, and boom of a bass drum as the band continues to play. I twirl and feel myself begin the sway to the beat, a steady dun dun dun, I turn again. Suddenly the beat stops, as do I. I turn my attention to the stage where I see the band members stopping, instruments down, I read their lips as they begin to say, "that’s it for tonight folks, now it's the DJ's turn."

I feel my heart sink, no more beats. I move slowly, zig zagging through the happy dancers, some appeared to be singing along, but I didn't know the words. I would never know the words.

I move through the silence, the empty, lonely silence. The vibrations of people's feet the only thing I could hear...
