ovenbird The costume ball took place in an abandoned warehouse. I dressed as a sparkle. This involved a blue rhinestone encrusted dress and shimmery eyeshadow. I was frequently mistaken for Elsa from Frozen, but I made sure to insist upon my vision. I was what a sparkle would be if it was human sized and alive. I was not multiple sparkles, but a single glint of light. One sparkle in the dark. The dancing didn’t last long before demonic forces decided we should all be killed. Demonic forces ruin everything. I was busy being pulled into a really lovely hug offered by a complete stranger when the rain of fire started. I wanted to do more hugging. I had no desire to dodge spears made out of flame. But you do what you have to do. So I ran. I ran to a dark corner of the warehouse and pulled open a heavy wooden door. I found myself in a conference room with some tables and chairs and a couch set underneath a window that made up the entire back wall. I looked out the window which gave me a view of the North Shore mountains. They were on fire. Not only were they on fire but a three hundred foot tall demon made of smouldering embers was rising angrily from the conflagration. I think he was a demon. Maybe he was a god. Who can tell the difference? Demons and gods have more in common than they care to admit, like a hunger for vengeance and a tendency to smite people. The god of fire (or whoever he was) seemed big on smiting. He was throwing his fire spears at anything that moved and though his aim was terrible the sheer volume of fire was doing a decent job of wiping people out. I rolled onto the floor beneath the couch and closed my eyes. I didn’t die. When the god got tired of burning people alive and the mountain was just a mountain again, I came out from under the couch and resumed being a sparkle. What else was I going to do? Every day finds a new way to teach you what hell is. You can let the flames flash off every mirrored part of you or you can burn. It’s up to you. I chose to be a sparkle. 251222
