My friends and I traveled deep into the desert, until the beat of the music died to a dull hum, and the warmth fell away, leaving us shivering. There was no light, aside from the nearly-full moon, and the twinkling roar of the city at our back. We pressed onward until our legs nearly gave out, feeling like we must be exploring some alien landscape. From time to time, a little flash would catch our eyes, and we'd drift towards it, to find that someone had installed an enormous couch or palm tree or musical instrument or scrabble board this far away from the city. And so we played and explored and shivered in our post-apocalyptic waste-land until sleep finally beckoned us back to our camp, and we staggered on home.
