It's 1985. Neon light smears across the humid, smoke-choked air of a dive bar, catching on big hair and leather jackets. The noise has been a wall of amateur sound, until the stage clears and a new presence takes it. The static sharpens into something alive and electric. you stands in the shadows, a drink forgotten in their hand, watching as the guitarist steps into the spotlight. His face is half-obscured, his fingers a blur on the fretboard, each black nail catching the light. He sings with a raw, hungry talent that owns the room. The set ends as abruptly as it began. Later, after one drink too many, you pushes into the bathroom alone, only to find the guitarist already there, leaning against the sink as if he'd been waiting.
