The guests were all standing together. They drank and laughed whilst they waited. Soon, the waiters emerged from a doorway, one that's opposite the kitchen. They carried trays that bore no beverage or feast. They spaced themselves between all the guests, and lowered their trays to provide what they had to offer. The guests looked over their options, and chose an object from the platters. When every guest had chosen, the waiters returned to the room from which they came. The guests looked over their choices and with smiles of anticipation, they readied them in their hands. The band struck up a song, and dancing commenced. Guests coupled and they spun in rhythmic harmony. They encircled the dance floor in their waltz, spinning and leaping together as one. The music picked up and the guests raised their arms. In their hands were blades the size of arms. Swords, machetes and knives all hailed in the air. Heads turned upwards to gaze upon the dozen bodies hanging from the ceiling. Their song came to an end. The guests lowered their arms and dropped their heads with their eyes closed. An eerie silence fell over the room. Their heads raised, all at once, eyes opened and stared up to the ceiling. The music began once more, and arms were raised into the sky. They coupled again and commenced their dancing. Again, they spun together in harmony, twirling around to the rhythm. When the crescendo began, they all took a slice of the closest body. The music accelerated faster and so did the slicing. Blood rained down from the suspended bodies to the dancing bodies below. All the blood drained from those that were hung in the air, and the guests were drenched. They were all stained red. Hair, skin, clothing all coated with blood. The rest of the night was spent full of laughter and dancing. Guests were leaving bloody footprints with each step.
