The Game of Fate

After hearing the announcer's booming voice calling people together for a game, Afa takes my hand, her eyes practically glowing with excitement. 

"Let's check it out!" she says, tugging at my arm like a kid at an amusement park and looked pretty desperate at the same time as she if knew what's gonna happen. 

I sigh, already bracing for whatever chaos is about to unfold. "This is gonna be something crazy and wild, I just know it." Obviously, I mean look at the people and activities they indulged in here. 

"Oh, come on! Let's not seek something normal at a place like this?" she grins. 

She has a point, I let her pull me forward, maneuvering through the lively crowd. The club is packed, the neon lights overhead casting shifting hues of blue and purple across the sea of curious faces. Some people look eager, others are eyeing the stage like it's a trap, and I can't say I blame them.
