The first started innocuously enough, a Thanksgiving dinner at am Americano pub hidden away under reams of garish christmas lights.
Marked mostly by the absence of Turkey, too many blinding flashes and an odd disquietening detachment to events. As dinner passed ended and morphed into a slow causal round of drinks beneath the terraces of Chijems both the detachment and the disquiet found a new form. Both palpable, insidious and insistent.
Hence, the cab ride to the strange world known as Kembaganan and the retreat of Simei only went so far as the first and was re-routed way before the second. It ended by the river as the second night would.
Disquiet led into wild uncontrolled "unquiet", pulsing with some hybrid of House, a few more strange untried mixes and a normally happy high. Except not that night. In the blurry edges of sight, disquiet and dismay found shape and form, detachment had to go to the toilet and subbed out.
