Half-Monster
We have history, a very passionate history.
Guitar strumming begins on the stage as Sheila goes off to finish her shift. Music in a rapid pulse radiates in my inner ear. All eyes are on the band as Raven begins to sing a song about oozing with heartbreak. I turn away from the stage. My back to it, I can hear the many sounds, but the clarity of her voice stands out. Hypnotizing, she sings, and I can’t get up and leave even though my body wants to.
"You want to dance?" A redhead asks me, snagging the empty chair next to me. She looks like the standard type that would be slumming in these types of bars. Chubby features are highlighted by smeared blue eye shadow and thick black eyeliner.
