Flash Freewrite #001 — I joined in

Breathing in the same smoke, the browned, beer-stained air. If my images blurred so did theirs until the who and who and who were not identifiable. We just all were. One body of people. Friends if you like. A crowd with a purpose, celebrating the last New Year, with intermingling breaths and intermingling noise.
