AUSTIN
The three Austinators sitting directly in front of the low stage were the
only reason I hadn’t given up on this humiliating gig. No one else in
the bar was interested in listening to my music, that was for fucking certain.
And with each glass of whiskey I slammed back between songs to get
myself through it, the less I wanted to listen to myself too.
It definitely wasn’t my finest performance.
Or my finest song, if I was being honest with myself. It was new-ish
material, it had taken me months to write, and it was…
Fine.
It was fine. It was a very adequate song. With adequate lyrics about
heartbreak and pining and a girl with sky-blue eyes and golden hair. Fourchord progression. Boilerplate stuff.
Soulless.
Which was exactly how I felt at the moment, so it was no surprise my
music sounded the same way. Shit, I was getting morose. Maybe this should
be my last drink. Back in the before times, I’d had a manager to keep me on
the straight and narrow, but he was long since gone. Maybe I should hire
my mom again, even if she was a fucking thief.
Nah. Bad idea, Austin. If I spoke to Mom again, then she would speak to
Grandfather, and I’d be subjected to more lectures about how it was time I
got my life together and became a proper Hunter.
Nooooo, thank you. I did not want to spend my nights creeping around in
the dark, armed to the teeth with silver blades like a cheesy video game
character. I had important shit to do.
There were gigs for three whole fans to be played.
I finished my song, wavering slightly off-key on the final note, and the
three women in the front stood up, whooping and hollering in a way that
was definitely meant to be supportive but just made the whole experience
more mortifying since all the other patrons were now glaring at me.
“Okay, well that concludes tonight’s show,” I announced, calling it early.
My injured pride could only take so much. To add a metric ton of salt to the
open, gaping wound, that was what finally got the other patrons cheering.
“Austin!” one of the woman yelled, leaning over the edge of the stage and
giving me come-hither eyes as I packed up my gear as quickly as I could.
Shit, shouldn’t have had that last whiskey. “Come party with us. That was
such a good show. Even better than the one at the barbeque place in San
Antonio. We were there, you know. We’re huge fans.”
I used to perform in front of auditoriums of thousands. Remembering
those days felt like peering through the looking glass at a different life.
