figures moving - shoulders arms legs up down left in all the directions they push and shove and hit and / the club is full and / of people persons humans figures people person humans figures . (how did you get here?) flashing lights going in all directions purple green red blue the music goes trough the chest , somewhat nauseating as every time the sound machine goes it pushes you a little, like the people do like the persons like the figures do, it pushes you back and yet, you keep dancing, it's fine it's okay

/

the MC comes up to the stage, the ceremony will begin now / the sound is still so loud you cant hear however , as he finishes his intro, one dreaded sound comes trough your ear - your name. He said your name / as you try to run away the two strong muscular hot figures next to you grab you, you are being dragged trough the ground ; can you fight and yet - no time , you are already being nailed to the floor . giant metal spikes being driven trough your handsfeet and as much as you scream / there is nothing to do/ as much as you scream , its still over

the hooded figure towers above you as you hear the crowd chant louder and louder / as the figure pulls out something glowing, something with a shine, long and sharp and [[IT CANT BE HAPPENING ]] not to you , you know? usually it happens to everyone else, but not you, the ceremony has begun and not in the crowd but instead you are located on a stage , / on a board as you scream nothing comes out the lights are still moving /

beams of neons and protons shining into your fieldofview - swords cutting trough darkness as the faces are obscured, all that is to be seen is the masses of shadow in front of you / shouting screaming in joy as the GLOWING THING RIPS YOUR CHEST OPEN , ITS YOU - the cold metallic body executing a succinct movement from the adam's apple to the abdomen and as the ribcage is pulled apart a glowing gem is revealed / breathing pumping ,. bthump thump, thump thump , thump thump, thump thump , she clasps it, grabs it and seizes it - a sort of expropriation , as the adventurer takes a golden statue from a stand the MC rips a gem out of your body , red rain staining and dripping and shooting cheers as the heart is being taken as you watch - the next stage must begin, and you know what's coming

as you watch with horror , the heart is being thrown in a cylindrical metallic chamber , as if it was any other item of clothing, the door is slammed shut and / spinning wheel / beepbeepbeepbeep the hand decoding the console as the sting of words is displayed - HEAVY DUTY HEAVY HIGH - it presses a button , PLAY / start? triangle GO - THE CEREMONY HAS BEGUN / thump thump . it hits the wall thump and thump thump again , dragged by the centrifuge thump thump the beating gem / thump thump following the wings thump ripping , jets of liquid tearing as it follows an orbit / revolving around the sun a movement has been created thump as comes the day night follows , disintegrating into a red mist /melding with a sort of liquid red clear - red pink and BEEP BEEP BEEP the door is opened and as you watch the remaining sludge of your heart simmering , they pick it up , once a gem now cut, perfected into an horror beyond comprehension, the ex-heart is presented to the crowd as they go fucking apeshit, it is the latest advancement, the avant-garde of modern art , and you were there to see it.
