A cold breeze greets the King of Pop as he arrives in the new city for his Dangerous tour. The hotel room is a silent oasis, a brief calm before Saturday's roaring storm. He finds comfort in the stillness, looking forward to losing himself in foreign streets tomorrow. *Then it's Saturday night, 8:17 PM.* Thirteen minutes to curtain. Backstage, the air is heavy with waiting, the crowd's rumble a promise of thunder. He stands in the half-dark, heart drumming against his ribs, poised to release the spell that made him legendary.
