The Busker

Aiden can sing about Darcie while busking, because he's learned over the years people don't actually listen to words. What people do hear is the melody-and people tip when the song's mood seems happy, so he smiles broadly as he sings the refrain: At least you were good for that.The crush of disinterested passersby fills Aiden's days as he plays on street corners in Liverpool, on the edge of becoming tragic in his dedication to both the woman who left him and a pipe dream for the music he plays. His fingers bleed and heal over, his life static, until a tangerine-haired woman drops into his hostel along with an opportunity. As the warmth of stage lights becomes real for the first time, so does the reality of losing what he's always wanted.
