12:06:39 AM

You're still awake as the clock passing the previous day, stuck between past and future. An existential crisis occurs and, before you know it, you began darting through the city, trying to find something real. It's all a fluke, but when no one's there to help reality can seem so far away.

12:15:00 AM

The clock on the wall reads a quarter past midnight. As you gaze up at it you hear a faint squeal in the distance, maybe that of an unprovoked attack or a fight breaking out. But there's no one in sight as you begin to wander towards the sound, chills growing on your spine as the darkness swells around you.

12:31:07 AM

You reach a crowd of night owls to discover they're not in distress, but joy, dancing the night away outside the city's bustling club scene. The bass and thumping beat of what's playing inside makes its way out, for all to enjoy. Chatter fills the air space as the smell of sweat and perfume engulf the area.

12:46:53 AM

On the outside the gathering mass just seems eager to enter the club, but each conversation in the line is a game of attracting the opposite sex, building relationships, and stirring drama. The clubs are our mating ritual, with every person doing their best to look, and act, so fresh and so clean.

Down the street, cars pull up and cat call the nightly streetwalker. She knows the desperation from many who leave the club empty-handed, using that to her benefit. But the life is a dangerous one, any stranger can use and abuse her for their pleasure, she's just hoping to make it out another night.

1:08:41 AM

Whereas some seek the affection of a one night stand, others already have companionship. A magnetic couple strides down the streets with the top down and spirits high. They worship the nightlife, taking in the emptying air, people watching for the next possible altercation to mock.

1:19:44 AM

Whatever happens outside our locked doors, inside is where we'll stay, bound by love, intimate in our feelings. The night lets us be free, held down by no rules, and while others struggle to stay out of trouble, we're content in remaining pure. All we have is each other, and that's all we'll ever need.
__________________________________________________________

1:28:51 AM

We pull up to a scenic rest stop overlooking the city. Lights illuminate its underbelly as we rest on the hood of the car, admiring what little stars we can see through the thin plume of smoke. We detail the coming months of summer spent together, and how time will cease when we're in unison.
__________________________________________________________

1:40:50 AM

The cold breath of night arrives, coming with it a dark contemplation of our closest friends. When summer ends, and we all move on to another chapter in life, we're left wondering who will stick around for the ride. These companions have formed the memories of your childhood.

1:48:29 AM

Down an empty street, residue building upon the grass, one solitary traveler meanders the sidewalks. It's his time of reflection, a time to remember those he's lost. Emotions can only be contained when surrounded by others, alone they let loose, but only so he can live to fight another day.
__________________________________________________________

2:00:34 AM

So while some battle with life's deepest emotions, others let loose in a chill house party. No dancing or yelling mind you, just beats pulled from the haze and a crowd sprawled out on the couches, chairs, and floor, passing joints around, only speaking when they have something emphatic to say.
__________________________________________________________

2:06:19 AM

Call it whatever you want, MDMA, Molly, Ecstasy, but whilst tripping on it love between two becomes greater, taking them to higher places. Euphoria only heightens when a mindless rave catapults behaviors to another dimension. A trip through psychedelic visuals sends users off the rails.
__________________________________________________________

2:20:41 AM

Once that next plane of consciousness has been reached a calming takes ahold, nullifying users, relaxing their muscles, opening their minds to new understandings. Spacial awareness makes every object, the walls, plants, people, abide by sonic harmony, swaying together in translucent shapes.
__________________________________________________________

2:39:07 AM

For some the summer means a quiet, and seductive, night in. Passions erupting under the sheets, sweat dripping down onto one another, go around after go around has each coming back for more. Lying in bed exhausted from the night, the two rest comfortability in each other's arms.
__________________________________________________________

2:52:12 AM

After wearing off and coming back to reality the couple struts nude into the living room as a crackling fire sits waiting for them to stare at. They wrap each other up in a giant fur blanket and appreciate they're experiences right now, getting as close to each other, and the fire, as they can.
__________________________________________________________

3:11:56 AM

Darkness now shrouds the land as some brave friends venture out into the woods for a night in the wilderness. This untamed world hardly receives any guests. It's a risky move, but with an illuminated tent, good spirits, and chanting spells, shooing away whatever lurks nearby shouldn't be a challenge.
__________________________________________________________

3:18:28 AM

While newcomers to the wood take a stab at conquering the demons that lie in the darkness, cult members gather to sacrifice whatever haunts the grounds. A massive bonfire billows high in the sky on an open patch of land, as sermons are conducted to worship the natural world around them.
__________________________________________________________

3:32:49 AM

At this time of night many are fast asleep, the one thing left to do is dream. Misshapen creatures yelping in the distance, cities taking on new and elusive shapes, scenes glitching through time and space, all while a man blares his saxophone. Yet another night in the mind of an imaginator.
__________________________________________________________

3:44:10 AM

Truly a strange time of night underground, an assortment of crazies stalk the subway system for unknown reasons. On each tram there's always a lonesome wanderer coming back from a rendezvous under distress, plugging his or her headphones in, hoping for a safe trip back home.
__________________________________________________________

3:50:02 AM

The day has finally ended. Few remain awake, even fewer move with energy. In our last moments of consciousness, where reality merges with fantasy, the lines are blurred as to what's real and what's fake. The result is hauntingly beautiful. Memories were made but we must rest, for tomorrow's another day.
