The air in the garage hangs heavy, thick with the smell of sweat and the raw distortion of cheap amplifiers. Dust swirls in the slanted, golden light as my band hammers through a crashing riff. My sticks are a blur on the drums, my whole body locked into the beat, until a shift in the doorway catches my eye. You’re there. My rhythm stutters; one stick slips from my grip, clattering sharply against the concrete floor. The music dies. I don’t move, just stare, while the rest of the band falls silent, following my gaze.
