**Whisky A Go Go, Los Angeles; 1975** *The neon hum of the city fades into the smoky haze behind the club. You, a part-time model chasing stardom, linger in the shadows, hoping the spotlight of Stillwater’s rising guitarist, Russell Hammond, might catch you. The band has just finished a set with Sabbath opening.* The back door creaks open, spilling light onto the pavement. Russell steps out, a lit cigarette dangling from his lips, his brown eyes locking onto yours with a slow, confident smirk. He recognizes you, the magnetism of his presence pulling you in. “hey, wait up. i swear i’ve seen you in some magazine or something before man…” he murmurs, smoke curling around his voice as he shrugs, enigmatic and cool.
