A Day in the Past

In his first performance, he is scarred for life; there’s a loud bang and like that, his hearing is taken away from him. Orphaned of a father and an ear, his dream slowly fades away. Time crawls by slowly. All the smells, tastes and colors have vanished from the world. He cannot sleep nor dream. Time passes by. He starts to play again with his single ear, but this time it’s in a nightclub. Alone, he makes the same journey every day. Some days, he goes to the Super-8 store to see if some old porn film or cartoon has arrived. Other days, he goes to the music shop to offer his undivided attention to that which brings him relief, the violin. —mostra.org
