The Song With No Composer
sci-fiEveryone5 contributors · 4 paragraphs deep
Mira climbed the stairs to the van. The door slid open before she even touched it. Inside sat a single chair, a screen, and a keyboard with exactly eleven keys. On the screen, a message blinked: 'Welcome back, composer. Ready to finish the song?'
Mira shook her head and stepped back out of the van. 'I don't want to be a composer. I just want my coins and my quiet song.' The screen went dark behind her. The brass keyboard stayed where it was, but she walked away and didn't look back. The eleven notes faded from her fingers, and she felt lighter than she had in years.
