Sinister: The Dancefloor

[Caitlin Pigtails]

His dancing was impressive.  He skipped and bounced across the floor 
without worrying about gravity, without seeming to stay connected to 
the ground.  He was in his own little world, bouncing about with his 
ear on the music.

(I was on the dancefloor too, but I'd hardly call it dancing.  My 
movements were static and pedestrian by comparison)

Bob and Stevie had joined Stuart on the dancefloor for a brief time, 
but not for long. Maybe they didn't have the stamina.  Tracyanne and 
some of the other Camera Obscura people danced with him too, but never 
for very long at a time.  Stuart stayed up there, dancing, his mind on 
that and that alone.

At one point, I looked up and laughed.  I realised that Stuart was 
dancing there, surrounded by a ring of Sinister listees.  Noone else 
was on the dancefloor, just him and the Sinister delegation.  I 
wondered if he realised who we were and where we were coming from.  I 
assumed he didn't; if he'd realised that all the people around him were 
only there, ultimately, because of his music, he might have run away 
and hid with embarrassment.  But his mind was on the dancing, so he 
skipped back and forth, body and heart and mind in the air, touching 
the ground as little as he could.
