The music of the night

by Poozzab

So I did. I readily pranced about, playing the song, singing the song. It feels right. Where do I know this…

Darkness, overwhelming darkness. Where am I? What am I doing here?

...

“Sir, visiting hours are now over, and we ask you to please leave.” The nurses head had poked through the door, interupting the moment. “She has had a long day, many visitors.” Father took his CD player back from her, and turned it off. Shaking his head, and a single tear now rolling down his cheek, he left the room. One final look back, and he turned off her light.

...

Whats happening? And where did this guitar come from? I know I have to get out of here. Silence, just dead silence.

    A bit disorienting, but I think that’s fair considering the subject matter. Minor point: “nurses” should be “nurse’s”.

    I like the questioning and attempts of the girl to orient herself.
