She draws the bow across the steel strings. The violin hums and mews while she twists the metal keys, tuning each string until all four cry in a perfect fifth. Every day she plays, alone, in this empty auditorium. The music fills the air. Electrostatic waves pulse through the halls, bending around corners, amplifying at each angle until finally they reach my ears.
