It was another horrible night at work but it was something that she couldn't escape from. After the speakeasy she used to work for us taken over by Blackbeard she was forced to work here. At least she just had to sing at this place but he was ruthless and she would do anything to get out of this place. Looking in the mirror backstage she had just finished putting on her make up. It was almost show time, for some reason a lot of people had come to see her sing.
Hearing the piano slowly begin to play that was her time to get on stage. Grabbing a shot of whiskey she slammed it and headed on stage. As she slowly made her way she could see Blackbeard's shadow in the back. Time to focus on a random patron in the bar as she started to sing. There was a new man sitting near the back. With a smile she began to sing.
"Been a fool, been a clown.
Lost my way from up and down
And I see in your eyes that you really weren't surprised at me
