The air was thick sweet with the smell of whiskey and the sound of a fiddle cut through the crowd like a knife. Sarah, fresh off the bus from Tennessee, stood at the corner of this honky tonk, her heart beatin' like a bassline to the music. She clutched her guitar loosely, its shiny wood warm under her fingers. Her dreams were bigger than these honky tonks, but right now, this was all she had: a few dollars in her pocket, a song on her heart, and the hope that maybe, just maybe, someone here would see somethin' special.
She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and started to sing.
