Neo Blinked [PG]
Neo blinked, and in that instant, everything changed.
Gone were the flashing maelstrom of vibrant, menacing colors that had emanated from the club’s multiple strobe lights. Gone were the howling, screeching sounds of those who had congregated in that twisted vision of Dante’s Inferno, their cries rising to the sound of electric guitars and the beat of a drum. Gone were the droplets of rain that poured in through the shattered skylight, gone were the mirror visions of an old adversary, a smirk on every face. Gone were the crew of the Logos, gone was his mentor Morpheus, gone was the only truth he had ever relied on since being freed from the world of the Machines, the woman he loved.
