Scene to read · Collaboration, Resilience
One more year
You write the songs for a three-piece band of old friends.
Last night's show, the third in a row, drew eleven people. In the garage where you practice, Zola, your drummer, and Bernard, your singer, who paid four thousand dollars for last year's recording, have stopped setting up.
The scene
Zola: Eleven people, four of them family. Let's end it while we're still friends.
Bernard: I put four thousand into that record. Give it one more year. One.
Zola: Another year of loading drums into empty rooms? For what?
Bernard: For the songs. They're yours. No new songs, no band. So?
