Dead End - Mind.In.A.Box

Can you hear me?

Is this working?

OK, good

I just arrived at the position the informant indicated

I have a clear view of the entrance to the club and the bouncer in front

There is someone talking to him, but it’s a guy

More people arriving

Okay… no she’s not one of them

He said she would be here ten minutes ago

I’m going in

You block out all doubts, and focus on a single purpose

You dive into the scene before you

Your senses assaulted from every possible direction

You can hear the blood throb in your veins

The familiar pang kicking in to keep you calm and make you forget everything

else

You feel as in a dream, floating through the huge room, scanning.

Scanning

It should be easy now, your state keeps you focused

But you are still aware of the music, boring into your mind

A strange pressure you have never felt before

Your focus starts to waver

You have to find your target, she is the only lead

She is the only one who knows what happened in the back of that bar

You cannot lose her again

You feel the cold inside of yourself

People scrambling desperately to get out of your way

Then you see her, exhilaration breaking your icy calm

A raging fire, driving you on with incredible speed

But the music is still there, and the distance doesn’t decrease

There is a flight of stairs, an endless corridor

Pressing through a window, running in the rain

Feeling a sudden burn in your flesh

She is still there, in front of you

You can see her, but the music sticks to your mind

You’re skidding through the rain, getting desperate

Darting through another back entrance

Dashing through a corridor

Spilling out into a room full of people, and music

The music.

It’s burning in your mind, driving you mad

There is only the music.

The music

There is nothing else.

Nothing else

Only the floor rushing toward you
