Dancing

The deep bass of the music beat slowly, rhythmically. Her hips followed. Softly her hands took to air with confident moves. Her gaze flicked across the crowd that sat, enraptured with her dance.

Every eye in the house was on her, drawn to watch her. Enthralled, the drinks and small snacks on their table forgotten. Young, old, male, female; every eye in the house was on her as she swayed slowly, sensuously.

It wasn't until I glanced around for a glass of water that I realized the shadows in the room had shifted. How long had she been dancing? I looked to the crowd, my eyes searching for the small details. Dry tongues licking cracked lips. Eyes red and irritated from lack of blinking. Something was wrong here.

Now that I had snapped from my forced reverie I could focus. I sniffed, and smelled magic in the air.


Or at least, that's how it happened in my head.

In reality, last night's belly dance review was a lot of fun. Met new people, had a good time, watched good looking girls dance around on stage in a very sensual manner.

But my version is better.

Poochpage is dead, unfortunately. Email jmfargo@gmail.com to get me.

I saw InsectPOD is back and am very excited. :)

I attended a belly dancing thingy at Dragon*Con years ago. Best. Time. Ever. Got my picture taken with a couple of girls that were drop-dead gorgeous.

This reminds me of something The Ferrett would write.

Wow.

That's maybe one of the best compliments my writing has ever received. Thank you.

Although now that I don't see him on your Friends list I am concerned it might not have been meant that way?

He is a published writer and you like his work. :) You should take it that way.
