She drove b the building. It was run down on the outside with very few lights on outside. A giant wooden dragon head sat outside on the front corner of the property. She parked her car and gingerly made her way around the building to the entrance. Several tall bushy haired men, seriously inhaling on their cigarettes, hunched over in the brisk matutinal air, passed by her. the patches and safety pins on their leather jackets, and the combats boots giving her pause and made her feel slightly out of place.

Inside the building a small, respectfully quiet crowd stood around the stage. Two men dressed in tattered burlap sack robes stood over two pieces of machinery. Her first thought was, "Huh, ti looks like the Sand People in Star Wars." The music was a scratchy, static-y, whiny noise. The two men seriously manipulated the dials on the machines silently.

Slowly a heart-beat emerged out of the noise-music. The beat of humanity still pulling the different corners of the crowd together.
