Thank you. I wore my hair like Elvis until the Beatle era, then switched to their style.

About the same time as your story, I was living in East Chicago, Indiana. Near Halloween there was a parade, and all the kids wanted to be in it. I had a play guitar, and my mom slicked my black hair back and drew some sideburns on me. My black leather jacket topped it off. As we walked, I was chosen for a talent contest at the local movie theater — like yours. A bunch of us lined up, a guy put his hand over our heads and people clapped. I won first place as Elvis — a little wiggle put me over. I won $10 too, so I figure I was the first paid Elvis impersonator ever! Ha! My mom kept half.
Oh, good write, as usual. I know I took up a lot of space, but that’s cheap online, huh?

Thank you. Hair was an important part of life for a lot of us.

I cannot tell you how my stomach dropped when I saw they finally confirmed fatalities among the kids. I had so hoped there would only be injuries. I hate that this is now just reality for so many people and I hate that it feels like nothing can be done. I refuse to accept that as an answer.

I agree, Green. It’s unfortunate that this happens all too often now. Thank you for your comment.

Strong poem inspiring strong feelings. Wishing this weren’t happening. But wishing isn’t enough. Here in my state people can own a gun without a license even. Sickening.

Talk about a steamy build up the suspense here if just strong as can be. And the dialogue flows perfectly like a bunch of ladies on a night out at the bar. And then the guys lining up with drinks for the protagnist is a surpising and original plot line. Fantastic opening.
