Dez, alone, finds an unlabeled record with a plain white sleeve in a +returns bin, shrugs, places it on a glowing turntable at the counter and lowers +the needle. The moment the needle touches, thick black liquid vinyl bleeds +outward from the record's groove across the turntable and the counter, rising +in thin dripping tendrils as Dez's eyes go wide and the neon lights flicker +violently.

Dez sprints and +leaps across a chain of half-sunken wooden record crates while three sharks +circle and lunge at his heels; each shark's dorsal fin is a black vinyl record +with a bright red circular label at its center, clearly visible cutting through +the water.
