The stranger in a rock concert
You feel that you are stuck with your life and marriage. Your job is overwhelming and according to your wife, you do everything wrong. Your life has been slowly dying during your marriage years. You have tried to speak about the situation, but it really hasn't improved the situation.
You rarely can go out with your friends, but this time you got a permission go to see a rock gig.
You have been waiting to see this progressive rock band: Graveyard, for a long time now. Finally the day is here. You have the tickets, and you are waiting your friend in a bar to join you. Few drinks before the gig.
You got a message from your friend that he got a fever and he cannot join you this time. Sadly you have to go to the gig on your own, because you don't want to miss it.
You are standing in a front row and the band starts to blast their first song. You can feel the bass wave through your body. You enjoy the gig with every cell of your body. It almost brings a tiers into your eyes, because you haven't felt being so alive for a long time.
In the middle of the gig, you feel that someone wraps arms around you. You turn your head and you notice that it is a young woman hugging you. She doesn't say a word. Only hugs you. You don't interrupt her and you feel the warm feeling captures your body. Neather of you say a word. Just enjoying the music.
At some point she let go and vanish in the crowd.
When the last song stops and the band abandoned the stage, you head your way to the exit. Outside you see this stranger who hugged you earlier. She has a coy smile and she is looking straight into your eyes.
