Will write for food

[jchrisobrien]

After trying a few of these, I found it's rather addicting. So, I’m going to post the pro-active version of this meme.

I will write an imaginary memory of you, if you leave a request in this journal. You can either suggest a memory, or let me make one up. Your call.

Your hair was a little flat, your limbs coated with dried sweat, your clothing jangled and swished in the pre-dawn air. But you hadn't lost that wild smile, and you still had a bounce in your step when I was about ready to curl up and go to sleep. We'd been egging each other on all night: come one, just one more song, then we'll take a break, here have you had enough water? Yeah, I have a little... oh wait I LOVE this song! The breaks between songs came fewer and far between, as we danced our way through the progressive house, through trance, through drum and bass and break beat and back to trance again. The humidity was intense, we breathed in the sweat of thousands of dancers and didn't care in the least. Our limbs had strings attached to them, and the DJ's pulled the strings, and we jerked and capered an slid along the floor, until the music stopped and the bystanders pulled themselves from the floor and we staggered, leaning against each other, back to my car.

We made a quick stop on the way back from the event to get breakfast. There were a handful of other colorfully decked out kids, fingers wrapped around mugs of coffee, with that thousand mile stare that bespoke of legal dancing and illegal substances. As we left the diner, you saw a playground a block away, and wanted to check it out. I watched you play on the jungle gym, while I sat on the swings and watched the sun come up. You took the swing next to me, and we swung back and forth, higher and higher, egging each other on again. The music from the car swelled and the sun rose, and it was one of the most awesome sunrises I had ever seen.
