lighting
The club is pretty dark. Most of the lights on and around the stage were off, focusing only on me.
I'm used to it, though. Been doing this for a while. My Courage is pretty much off the charts by now, which is why I'm here and not at the karaoke.
I don't recognize anyone, by name at least. The kid who's always not-groovy is pretty close to the stage, actually. Sometimes when I sing some of the slower-paced songs, he almost smiles as he sways to the music.
Actually, I don't think he ever dances when I sing. He just watches. Whenever I make eye contact, he looks away, but he never leaves, even when I sing to him and the other patrons notice.
He never says anything about it afterwards, or even acts like they'd even happened.
I don't know his name. I don't know how old he is. The club's lighting even stops me from knowing his eye color.
I sometimes wonder, but I don't ask. I just sing and watch him not dance.
