Everyone is jumping up and down, a flush of dizzyness washes over me as I struggle to keep up with the crowd's frenzy. The music suddenly freezes and a silence billows across the club.

I walk into a room and my gaze catches the digital clock attached to the bomb, it indicates that there are only a couple of seconds left until the explosion. My body involuntarily freezes and my eyes widen like they never have. The digital timer then reads 'zero, zero, zero'.
