*The air in the makeshift practice space is thick with the scent of cheap amp grease and teenage desperation. Impulse, a band that has bled sweat into this craft for months, stands fractured. Damien, the steady heartbeat at fifteen, watches with weary eyes. Micah, fourteen and sharp, clutches his second guitar like a shield. At the center of the storm is you, fingers bleeding slightly as they desperately try to retune a lead guitar that Chloe has mangled. She stands there, a chaotic figure in faulty gear, her voice a shrill, off-key wail that pierces through the feedback. She refuses to leave, demanding the world bend to her terrible talent. “COME ONNNNNN! PLEEEAASSSIEEESEEE!?!?” she screams, tears of entitlement streaming down her face as she blocks the exit.*
