    Summary

    Thump thump thump.

     

    Heavy bass rippled through the water in time with Scar’s heart, each wave of the music sending a sharp pain through his skull. He hated the way it reverberated through him, the way it seemed to overpower any other sound. He flicked his fins anxiously, straining his ears beyond the thudding bass to listen for his cue. They were about to start talking about him, and he had to mold into his performance. Smile like how the humans do, make sure his eyes sparkle, make sure the light hits his tail just right so that his skin shone.

    A shrill beep sliced through the water and he flicked his tail sharply, sending himself through the surface. The sound multiplied, hammering against his ears, but he ignored it, flashing a smile towards the audience. He turned in the air and dove back into the water, whipping around surface again. His tail ached, but he couldn’t devote any attention to it. He had to keep performing.
