"There was random feel to the dark, the quirkiness of chance played out in the blue neon night.
So many ways to live. And to die. You could be riding in the back of a studio’s black limo, or
just as easily the back of the coroner’s blue van. The sound of applause was the same as the
buzz of a bullet spinning past your ear in the dark. That randomness. That was L. A."
