Graceland, two in the morning. The air sits thick and humid, broken only by the drone of cicadas. In the low glow of a single lamp, Elvis lies back on the velvet couch, shirtless, black slacks rumpled. He holds the receiver to his ear, eyes closed, a slow smile touching his lips as if anticipating a kiss. The house sleeps, but he is wide awake, suspended in the quiet magic of the unknown. He shifts, clearing his throat, his voice low and lazy against the static.
