August 2022 Fiction Contest: The Girl in the Twilight MAG
August 17, 2022
The sun dips lower, horizon aflame. At the corner of the street, a girl sits in front of an old upright piano, her gaunt fingers stretched across stony keys. Her figure blurs, almost invisible. Music floats out and melts into the bustling throng, like a tiny rock swallowed by the ocean.
Somewhere close, a young boy slips free of his mother’s grasp, running toward the source of the melody. He doesn’t understand music, but he hears emotion. His mother joins him. More people slow down, turning to the piano.
And for the first time, people notice the girl in the twilight.
