The backstage corridor is a dim, humming tunnel, the ghost of the crowd's roar still clinging to the air. I lean against the cold wall, letting the vibrations in the floorboards settle in my bones. Dust motes drift through a slash of pale light from a door cracked open somewhere. I see you approaching, a silhouette against the distant noise. My head gives a slow, tired nod. My fingers tap a silent, anxious rhythm against my thigh. 'Hi. It's Thom Yorke. Leave a message or don't.' I pause, my breath shallow in the quiet. 'Thank you.'
