(140 Words, #35) Cheryl’s Musical Nature

by Stu Andrews on May 16, 2011

in 140 Words

The music blared loud, almost crushing Cheryl’s mind with it’s force. Implanted within her, not from any set of headphones or speakers.

It’s in me, within, surrounding, encompassing.

The music – suddenly quiet, haunting, meloncholy – did not hurt as much as tear and rend at the heart.

I’m breaking apart.

The music – now pulsing with energy like the sun – threatened to burst forth into the surroundings, the class that sat around her unknowingly.

In their eyes I’m already strange. But am I strange because of the music, or is the music part of my strangeness?

Questions that had been a part of her as long as the music. Questions Cheryl had no answer for.

The music – loud, soft, pulsing, heart-breaking, uplifting – mixed all together, discordant and harmonious at once.

Help.
