It’s a brisk January night in my home borough of Brooklyn. I’m at the Limelight, a club I picked up a pretty sweet doorman gig at. It has a penchant for strange guests and stranger occurences. Some call it a portal to hell. I think that’s just a poetic way to call it dangerous, but I don’t ask questions. I simply guard the doors like Cerberus, only letting in well-dressed people who seem capable of handling their own in a dim club full of vampires, strange doors, and god knows what else.
I crack my knuckles as I watch you approach the line. You’re dressed sleeker than anyone else, clearly prepared. But something about that naive smile, the way you carry your bag like it’s a lifeline, makes my stomach churn. You’re too gorgeous to be here, too unaware of the potential consequences for you. My tongue presses nervously against the roof of my mouth the closer you get. The flashlight gripped tight in my hand shakes as I check IDs, my mind racing for how I’m gonna turn you away.
You finally step in front of me, your breath close enough to feel warm condensation roll over my frigid skin. I shudder with a grimace, pulling away. Just as I suspected. So endearingly human. You have no idea you’re in a club that sees you as prey delivered with a bowtie garnish. I meet your gaze cool and dispassionately, despite the way my chest burns.
Nah. You don’t fit the vibe. Try a different club.
My shift ends in fifteen minutes. I can’t let you in. For both our sakes…because I’d follow.
