Grand Ball
“What do you hooligans think- “
The announcer spoke and had a knife struck at him. That was when the music stopped, and some started to realize the recent company that had walked inside.
Silence…
The group starts marching down the stairs and sliding down the rails, so the crowd starts screaming, pushing into one another… Some are looking for their own. There is spillage on dresses and suits, some are hiding by pillars, and some are waiting for the violent ones to come down so they can then go up.
AHHHH!
People are calling many different names amid the catastrophe.
“Move! Move!”
People are shoving into each other as the colored people start to spill some more blood. Blood has mixed with other blood types at this point. Some have blood on their clothes and some in their mouths.
In this moment, the rich don’t mind crashing into the poor, touching them. Some are coming into the ballroom while being pushed to the ground as people are rushing out. Those with eyeglasses are searching for them on the waxed floor and those disabled are just lost… they’re goners… while those with guards are grateful.
“Mr. President! Mr. President over here!”
“Where is she!? Where is my daughter!?”
(My wife... Oluwa! She may be here!)
Shakua lost his initial mission which was that of serving his master. Instead, he dove right into another mission more important to him---searching for me. He went by the instruments, asked people as best as he could considering his English, he poked all around and behind him as he thought perhaps, I was with the people heading out…
He is passing people that are getting their backs broken on what once used to be the dance floor, and some are repeatedly getting their heads slammed against a piano. The colored people are passing Shakua… whether it is because they think he is with them, or because he is colored like them… either way, they are not touching him.
Finally, Shakua sees a door leading out, and thinks… maybe… so he scurries to the door, his hand reaching, but his face gives him his answer. It was up to him whether he believed it, or not.
