Another Taste of Humanity

I have just emerged from a dark, crowded, slightly warm cavern of empathy. It was a group of strangers with a supposed strand of common interest, which could very well extend to the vast majority of the planet. We laughed together, bit back our tears together, and we were never even introduced. I looked around and everyone had a similar vision, mouths open in awe. Our vision came in flashes of colored light and balmy music of a narrow spectrum that created a particular story we temporarily projected on ourselves or our loved ones. Then, in that static silence, as story unfolded, manmade, artistically drawn, projected from a loudspeaker envisioned and embodied by the same species for which it inanely speaks stories unnecessary to our physical wellbeing, it possessed temporary significance for our minds, consuming our mutual essence. We sat together for nearly two hours before we separated at once, never again to reform the same unit. This is the nature of a movie theater.

OMG. when I first seen you page it scared the sh*t out of me, but other than that..lol..i really liked this entry like I thought it was really dope, like cool in a sense of how you chose to describe a movie theatre. I really liked it because I didn't reveal the subject towards the end. Very talented writer I must say :)
