Let there be Pink!
Oh by the way which one's Pink?
Working late in the night all by yourself, can be ecstatic sometimes. When the only noise echoing through the entire floor are made by your fingers coming down heavily on the subsidized keyboard, particularly the low pitched hollow sound released to append a white space in between two separate words.
Hitting the keys and gazing at my dim monitor screen to adore the magical letters dancing in front of me, adorning and giving shape to a nascent, unnamed thought that kept on lingering in my head for the past few weeks.

The diagonally-aligned ceiling lights overhead, along with the air conditioning speed had been turned down low to an unnoticeable level across the floor – reminiscent of a grim, impoverished store room, lined geometrically with revolving arm chairs that if pushed backwards reclined at an inaccurate but comfortable angle.
My eyes wore a murky shade of red – impoverished, sleep denied, an over-strained tool for visual assistance. The red color of my eyes could be attributed to the creamy herbs - hand-picked from the lush green hilltops.
The sempiternal battle between a cotton-mouthed throat and laggardly lazy limbs seldom ends in overpowering the latter. My legs lethargically carried me towards the cafeteria.
The cafeteria which during the daytime, bustled with boisterously decorated minions - wearing sleazy tags over their collar bones, discussing petty issues over long tea/coffee breaks - wore a deserted look then. Everything around seemed incommensurable that night -
The endless night!
I knew it was time to…
Floyd In
Pink Floyd was founded in 1965 by students Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright. They gained popularity performing in London's underground music scene during the late 1960s, and under Barrett's leadership released two charting singles and a successful debut album -
The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967).

Floyd out
After one of the longest sigh's that night, I rested my earphones in front of my keyboard and took another sip from my coffee mug. It definitely smelled better than it tasted.
The weather widget on my desktop announced it was cold enough to decline a self-skimmed, steaming cup of coffee. I remember leaning back to my chair, intertwining my fingers, gazing pointlessly at the grim ceiling.

I could hear them mumble chaotically in my head, panting every now and then -
"I found [Barrett] in the dressing room and he was so ... gone. Roger Waters and I got him on his feet, [and] we got him out to the stage ... The band started to play and Syd just stood there. He had his guitar around his neck and his arms just hanging down."
I took a deep breath and gently closed my eyes. The dry outline of my lips forming a beatific smile, as I sank into the eternal void - caressing and embracing me.

The night was still unwinding. With every nervous moment passing by, I was getting drawn inside the prism to be spewed out into the magical realm of mysticism. It started to get eerie. An uncomfortable, but pleasing assurance embraced me - the pipers had arrived!
The beatific smile crawled back safely over my pale face.
My heart plunged as the pipers came knocking for more...
