Mars

I waltzed through the bare trees, toward echoing rhythmless music in the distance. I felt the soft earth against my bare feet as I danced. The irregular beat was pulsing, and I felt the vibrations travel up my toes and into my throat as I sang along with the chaotic tune, in perfect sync. The music got louder as I got closer, and I danced more and more intensely, waves of sound wracking my figure more and more violently. My voice rose to a crescendo. My eyes stung and I closed them, using only the pounding symphony in my ears and the soft ground to find my way. The music filled me with joy and I leapt and spun to find the source. I felt myself being lead to a destination, I was being lead to a destination, I was going to arrive at a destination-
The music stopped.
I felt a sharp sting in my heels.
