Silence, a pulsing crescendo between the
footsteps in the hallway as if nothingness
had taken governance. What parts
of the crowd weren't whistling with
the intake of breath were muttering
to themselves in the half-light. The floor
beneath their feet came alive with dull
thuds and the clanking of metal. Announcing
the activation of some buried mechanism.
