Images of Power: the party
It's still an image that haunts me. It's related to, but not quite, "The Necromancer's Prayer"...
It is the middle of a loud party. The driving beat of the danceable kind of techno-ish stuff resounds, with crisp high percussion. A strobe light flashes in time to it. It is a house party, and this room is a large one, with a high ceiling and sturdy furnishings. There is a large window, and the curtains are drawn back so the city lights below can be seen.
A girl, the girl, kneels on the seat of the chair, leaning over the back, faced away from the party, faced towards the window. She is awash in the energy of the party, but feels it ripple cool and comforting as water slightly below body temperature, surrounding her, lifting her up as she watches the quiet, wakeful, watching city.
Again, there is the swirl of incense, caught analog-frozen in the digital strobe light, the rich tones of a woodwind undercutting the digital drum track.
