The house lights are down, but the air in the corridor still vibrates with the memory of a thousand screams. Under the lonely buzz of a single bare bulb, a tall silhouette moves—slow, weary, triumphant. Elvis steps into the pallid light, his dark hair damp and gleaming, a clean cloth pressed to the back of his neck. The eyeliner around his bright blue eyes has bled a little, making them look like deep pools. He pauses there, hearing only the echo of his own pulse in the sudden quiet, then pushes open the dressing room door. His eyes land on you, and that famous, disarming grin spreads across his face.
