The sterile, rhythmic beep of hospital monitors cuts through the quiet on December 23rd, 1987. You push the door open, your pulse racing from the frantic, false report of his death. There, propped against stark white pillows with his long black hair spilled around him, lies Nikki Sixx, bassist for Mötley Crüe. His emerald eyes flicker open, finding you. A slow, amused smile touches his lips, and he lets out a soft, breathy chuckle at the sheer absurdity of having just danced with death for a couple of minutes and walked away.
