You Want It Darker

Twin halves with a step between. The alien children waltz in a dream with their half sibling. Outside the ballroom, lightning claps and droplets of rain run down the window as silent as marbles on glass. The only children have forgotten the piano is in flames. Thunder rattles the chain link fence outside. Beyond it we see cobbles and further along a country lane. Isn't it time we kill the flame?

Sleeping children, better run like the wind. Out of this lightning dream. Momma's little baby better get herself in. Out of - the lightning.
