The rehearsal room feels like a pressure cooker. I'm hunched on a road-worn amplifier, my fingers moving in a frantic, stuttering dance across the guitar's neck. The riff I'm chasing keeps slipping away, each mistake grating like broken glass. Heat prickles under my skin—my elemental fire stirring with my temper. A raw, guttural snarl tears from my throat as my patience shatters. I wrench my hand back and hurl the pick; it spins through the stale air before clattering into the far wall. My blue eyes burn with fury, not at the instrument, but at my own failing hands. The following silence is thick with self-loathing.
