The guitar stopped. Alejandro's feet carried on the rhythm, counting out the beat with every flick of his heel. Each staccato note brought more power to his dramatic tale. His red cape swirled around him in time to the rise and fall of his movements. There wasn't a sound in the room except for the building crescendo of his music. The audience were captivated, held prisoner by their own curiosity. Like lambs to the slaughter. He clapped his hands and orange flames encircled him, joining in the dance. Soon, the fools would all follow him into the gates of hell.
