“Here! Here!” Everyone says clinging there glasses against each others.

“Bette there you are we’re ready to unveil the grand master piece, “James says.

“Yes, yes of course uh here T, “she says giving her glass, “Okay, I love you and I’ll be back when I can.”

“Love you too, “she says giving her a peck on the lips. While Bette continued to host everyone eventually separated walking the gala and reviewing the art. Like a parent keeping their wild child on a leash Shane kept a firm hold on Jenny. Helena and Kit kept a watchful eye over the food and bar, Tina enjoyed a friendly conversation with a few of her co-workers whom she invited, Dana enjoyed the urban pieces, while Alice found herself fascinated with the contemporary art. Stopping in front of each piece Alice found herself lingering in front of a sculpture entitled “Shock and Awe.” There standing on top of a black box was a person covered in what appeared to black oil wearing a hood only revealing its eyes. The artist not knowing how they accomplished the task made it appear as if the oil like substance dripped from its body. Hanging from both its index fingers was an electrical cord attached the box it was standing on. She didn’t understand why but she found herself drawn to the strange sculpture.

“Wow, looks like a toilet bowl exploded.” Turning her head she smiles upon seeing Dana standing next to her.

“I would expect for you to say something like.”

“What can I say I call it how I see it.”

“And that’s what you see a toilet bowl?”

“I do not I see a toilet bowl I see a toilet bowl exploding trust me I know from experience.”

“What, “she says smiling at her, “You’re insane.”

“No, really I’m serious I ate some bad sushi once and after I was done my toilet looked the same way.”

“Ewwwww, that’s gross besides I’m drinking over here!”

“Sorry my bad, I should have kept that to myself huh?”

“Uh, yeah.”

“Again, my bad but no seriously that sculpture is pretty bad ass it kind of reminds me of how I felt inside when I blew out my knee.”

“That must—–no, I know that was hard for you tennis was you’re life.”
