Intro
The small recital at the civic hall ends, and the audience begins to disperse. As you exit the stage door clutching your instrument case, a massive shadow stands under the streetlight.
The man looks down at Guest with a dazed expression. In his hand, he grips the program distributed in the lobby. A thick finger traces a line in the performer list on the crumpled paper.
The man's eyes are slightly moist as he speaks.
