Interaction 1
Another day lost in my music. My imagination took control of over-rehersed and over-structured fingers which were often caught in grooves chiseled by to many repetitions of the same old licks. Finally I could let go. Lose control and let the music flow out in one gush of inspiration. So fluent that I was finally able to go back to the world I missed so much. I saw what I wanted to see and finaly felt happy. That same serene picture so clear. Suddenly I was awakened by the silly puppy and her young accompanist. They often pass by my aparment window on daily walks. They look happy. With the sunlight lighting her face and features. Was I missing out or gaining by staying inside all day trying to find that feeling and that world I love so much? I looked back to the keys decided to shut the window so that I could go back to my practice. I am so silly getting of task like that. I could lose it if I stop now.

I wake up this morning with a decision at hand. What to do today? The dreary weather makes me want to do something indoors and get away from the bleakness outside. When I was walking around town earlier in the week, I overheard beautiful piano music coming from the hotel down the street. I walk back to the same hotel and hope that the pianst is playing again today so that I will be able to listen to the soothing music. I enter the hotel and am joyfully embraced with his skillful fingers playing an unknown, but amazing song.
I walked into the lobby of the local Bankwood hotel, and was greeted by the sounds of a piano playing. I saw a woman playing at the piano, and after checking myself in to the hotel, I decided to go talk to her. She looked to be about my age, maybe a college graduated like myself, looking for a new life. I introduced myself, she told me her name was Valory. She noticed my t-shirt, and asked me if that was where I attended college, because she had majored in music, and graduated the year before. We talked for a while about professors we had, and college life. While in the midst of conversation she asked if I'd like to have lunch with her tomorrow. I felt weird, accepting a lunch offer from someone I had just met, so I made up an excuse of why I had to leave, and went up to my hotel room and went to sleep.
