Today on Erica Drayton Writes, the Prompt is saloon!
Write a 100 word story.
And tag me if you take up the challenge.

When I strike a chord the stars dance. And when I hum, the clouds part. But when I strike and hum together, the sun rises.

I ain’t felt like striking and humming together in a long time.

Folks round here blame the darkness on the Lord. Or Mother Nature acting out Her revenge on humanity. But I knows the truth. I hears it in their silent anger and overt happiness. They don’t deserve the sun. Not yet.

Till they do, I just keeps striking a chord to make the stars dance. But you won’t catch me humming.

No.

Not yet.
