The atmosphere was strange, the turmoil was growing, a weird, mechanically disquieting frenzy possessed everything. A ll were moving randomly, but somehow following the same vibe. N ot all. He cannot feel that tune which was hypnotizing the others, forcing them to move, to speed up, swirling, hopping, crawling. A vortex of limbs, a chaos of arms hitting, punching, bouncing, kicking him as he always was on the wrong place. Then everything stopped, frozen.
