The Fake Empire
I wasn’t listening, not really, until the piano started playing, something about it drew me in.
When the drums, and guitar came in I turned up the volume. It must be new I’ve never heard it before.
It was a pop song. Not that I listened to them all the time, I’d like to think I keep up with the latest trends.
When a soft voice starts, it’s trembling, fragile yet steady, a complete contrast to the pop song theme.
“I sat alone in my shower, singing to your ghost…”
My grip on the steering wheel tightened. Something about her words eat at me.
