It was 7:00 p.m., and the invited guests were almost there. Soon after, the party started. The disco ball shined lights like a colorful diamond, with dance music played out loud and fulfilled the whole room. Some guests were chatting and gossiping while others were dancing crazily and enjoying snacks. Parker and Sally with the rest of the guests had a wonderful time dancing, chatting, and playing; the party lasted for a whole night. With guests leaving one after another, the party seemed to be gradually drawn to an end.

As the last of the party guests said their goodbyes and left Parker’s tiny apartment, he looked around at the wreckage.
