open ending

Tina held the tickets close to her chest. 

She had been looking forward to this mega concert for over a year. It was headlined by her favorite band of all time, Open Ending, and she even sprang for front row seats with her best friend.

Of course, it was postponed once the spread expanded.

She was elated with the rumblings that it would happen, as promised. Just when Tina felt she could exhale, and realize those plans—the spread worsened. Collectively, society pressed the pause button, once again.

Tina held onto the promise that one day she’d be there, singing at full volume to the lyrics of Sweet Glory Hither. For now, she crafted these memories in her mind’s eye, for an event that may or may not, ever happen.
